"People come to talk with me and share their concerns, troubles, and suffering. People tell me their “story”; what hurts, what’s missing, where they are stuck in life, and what they hope to change. They intend to find a way to resolve some kind of psychological pain. My intention is to quickly and accurately assess the situation. I listen very carefully as the client creates a picture in my mind of what life looks and feels like from their point of view."

"I believe people need and want to be understood; need to feel unique and meaningfully connected to others; need to belong and feel welcome, need to determine one's life and need to feel competent and valued. People come into therapy to find a place where they can gather innate strength to live a full and meaningful life. In partnership I work to help people alleviate psychological suffering to restore hope and confidence. We work together on trying to figure out the problem and possible solutions. It is a mutual decision making process."

“Coming to a therapist takes a great deal of courage; usually summoned when facing painful problems, profound loss or life changes/transitions. Anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger and resentment, unexpected life challenges and unresolved traumas test our ability to cope and be successful in our lives. Without help, our problems manifest into harmful habits, toxic relationships, negative beliefs/thoughts and avoidant behaviors. A safe and effective counseling experience helps clients restore feelings of connection, support, hope and confidence. Through the counseling relationship, clients conquer feelings of hopelessness, disconnection, personal imbalance and being stuck.

Therapy becomes a sanctuary for the mind, body and spirit – where the collaboration between client and therapist serves as a catalyst to promote deeper levels of inner awareness, insight and self-acceptance. The client already holds the wisdom of the needs of the authentic self, as well as the individual path of his or her own life.”

Beata relies on a wide range of therapeutic approaches including conventional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral interventions and art therapy. She believes the keys to personal transformation and authentic change come from the safe, supportive and nurturing relationship created in therapy. When needed, she uses art media, metaphor and meta-verbal means of expression to facilitate exploration of spiritual, interpersonal relationships and promotion of personal growth and self-acceptance.

Beata is a licensed psychotherapist, certified alcohol and drug counselor and registered art therapist. She has extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults with adjustment disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, general anxiety, depression and bipolar disorders, as well as schizophrenia, addictions and substance abuse. As a substance abuse and addictions counselor, she has a thorough understanding of the complexities of addictive behaviors, including co-occurring diagnoses, codependency/co-addictions and the many social and personal challenges hindering progress.

Some of Beata’s specialties include:

• Acculturation/multi-cultural issues
