Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

Beth Bruschini

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.
