“Happiness is your human right, and I make it my duty to help you find it.”
Beth Friedman
Background
Beth earned her degree in Psychology and Psychoanalysis from Tel Aviv University and holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School. She has completed extensive training as a trauma-informed counselor.
She works with people facing trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar I, schizophrenia and other mood disorders. Committed to breaking the stigma around mental illness, she works with clients of all backgrounds, regardless of race, socioeconomic status or religion.
Approach
Beth's preferred approaches are psychodynamic, person-centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier experiences shape the present, and a person-centered approach keeps the client in an active role.
She uses CBT to help clients change thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve them, and teaches grounding and mindfulness skills to use between sessions. Whatever the approach, Beth treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Working With Beth
Begin with the free 5 to 10 minute consultation. It is a short conversation to see whether working with Beth fits what you are looking for, and to talk through timing and whether in person or video suits you better.
Sessions run 50 to 60 minutes, and a 48-hour cancellation policy applies.
In-person sessions take place at the practice's offices in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Manhattan. Video sessions are available anywhere in Florida or New York, as long as you are physically in one of those states during the session. Ask on the consultation call where Beth is seeing clients.
The practice does not provide emergency services. In a crisis, call or text 988, or dial 911.
