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.
Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, mood swings, trauma and anxiety attacks. When you approach the therapeutic process with curiosity, you can grow, heal, and thrive.

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 Valley Stream
Finding the right therapist in Valley Stream starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Therapists in this area specialize in a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and family conflict. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while others work with particular age groups or communities. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Valley Stream or a nearby community like Lynbrook, Hewlett, or Elmont — or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Many licensed providers in New York offer both options. Confirming that a provider is accepting new patients and that their availability works with yours can save time early in the process.
Therapy in the greater New York City metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Valley Stream who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
