Find a therapist in Beacon, NY — covered by insurance

My name is Elizabeth DeAngelis and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NYC. I earned my Ed.M at Columbia University in mental health counseling. I also received an MA in psychology and religion at Union Theological Seminary. At Union I received specialized training about clients' existential/spiritual concerns. My goal is to offer clients a safe space to process emotions without judgment. I want to help clients explore their past and present stressors to overcome blockages in life.

Many clients come to therapy because they’ve reached a roadblock in their lives. I work with each person together, to help go beyond that impasse. Sometimes, it is helping to clarify and act on goals. Other times, there may be the need to understand one’s past before formulating a plan. A client who feels their therapist is there to work together and support their decisions, is more likely to achieve their goals. I work actively with each client to help them reach a happier place.

I offer an emphatic approach, based on realistic expectations with achievable goals tailored for each individual. I work collaboratively, able to readily offer my ideas and suggestions as benefits the client. I believe in continuous evaluation of therapy’s progress. I work with families and children and am experienced in play therapy.

Coming for therapy is the first step in moving forward. I believe in helping my clients in their personal, and unique growth. Asking for help, I believe, is beginning your path to empowerment, and getting your life back on track.

Mental Health Counselor experienced at helping clients steer through feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, social skills, and other life-limiting issues. My knowledge and training may help you acquire the strength and skills necessary to overcome emotional and behavioral issues, and help set you on the path to a happier, healthier life. Together we will create a therapeutic alliance in our safe, judgement- free environment, and work towards problem-solving and goal-setting, for personal growth and development. I also speak Russian.

It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.

My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.

My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.
