I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a professional background focusing on mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges in relationships. I attach importance to the ways issues of culture, race, trauma, family dynamics, and migration influence how we carry ourselves in the world and approach our experiences.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
I’m a formerly harsh self-critic and PhD psychologist with 30+ years of experience. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship problems, I’m here to help.
Through therapy, you'll learn to stop judging yourself so harshly, let go of guilt, shame and blame, and treat yourself with the same kindness you show others. I help you believe in yourself and take action, even when you’re feeling anxious.
It's very difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause lots of anxiety and self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for something more than advice from family and friends. If you're looking for a warm and inviting counseling atmosphere, I am eager to work with you to develop effective coping skills and a greater self-awareness to reach your full potential. Together, you and I can work to set goals that are appropriate and attainable for you, at your pace. For therapy to be effective for you, I work hard to build genuine and long lasting trust.
I have experience working with clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, and marital issues. Additionally, I believe that cultural factors are critical to the way we navigate through life. I work hard to address cultural matters, to understand how these may impact our perception of the world.
Call me for a free consultation where we can discuss your needs and goals. For your convenience, I offer online counseling. También, ofrezco servicios en español. Llamame para discutir tus metas.
As a clinical psychologist, I assist patients in reshaping negative thought and behavior patterns in a judgement free setting.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm an LCSW with 10+ years of experience helping clients work towards their life goals.
Life today can be very stressful. We play many roles and we are constantly bombarded with information. We have many responsibilities and too little time. Sometimes it's hard to talk to your friends because they're going through the same thing and you don't want to burden them.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ridgewood
Finding the right therapist in Ridgewood starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — like anxiety, depression, OCD, or relationship challenges — or whether you're looking for a particular approach, such as CBT or DBT. Knowing your preferences upfront can help you narrow your options and feel more confident in your choice.
From there, look for a licensed provider who has experience with your specific concerns. In New York, common licenses include LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist. If you think medication management may be part of your care, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help. Reading a provider's bio — including their style, background, and areas of focus — can give you a sense of whether they're a good match before you reach out.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider in Ridgewood who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
