About

Hello! My name is Elisabeth Braxton (I go by Beth) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State. I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings as a mental health counselor, including community-based agencies, public schools, and higher education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, adjustment issues, and recovering from trauma.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe change happens when trust exists and I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, empathy respect, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and my therapeutic approach is strength-based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused techniques. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have extensive training in trauma, DBT, and cognitive behavior therapy and feel confident in finding the right approach to help you.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I applaud your willingness to take those next steps! If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
