EMDR Therapists in Webster, MA

I am Beth Danforth, LICSW. I am now a provider of Blue Cross/Blue Shieid, Tufts, and United Behavioral Health insurances and presently have availability to see new clients on Friday mornings and early afternoons. I have extensive experience working with troubled adolescents, children, and adults with past trauma issues. I use a variety of methods and approaches depending on the need of my clients. I am Level II trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which facilitate rapid processing of past trauma. I have expertise in working with adolescents who have sexually abused young children.

As a licensed mental health clinician, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma related disorders. I work with families to improve relationships and individuals of all ages who suffer from traumatic experiences.

Working with trauma clients can be rewarding as well as difficult. Many of our clients reach a point where they can talk about their trauma but are still plagued by symptoms. Medication can help reduce symptoms. Skills building can further help. Unfortunately for some clients these interventions cannot stop the symptoms from recurring. It can leave you and your client feeling that progress has stalled. This is where Collaborative EMDR can help.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has extensive experience treating children, adolescents, and adults. I am a Registered Play Therapist.

Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Social Skills, ASD (high functioning), PTSD, ADHD, Conduct Disorders are some of the diagnoses with which I have helped clients.

Reaching out for help and support is often the hardest step to healing. No matter what your struggles are, how tired you are, how many negative thoughts you have, or how hopeless you feel, we will work through these struggles and find a solution that will allow you to live “your very best life”.

Stress management is a goal for many of us. Whether your stress is related to challenges in intimate relationships, parenting, or a traumatic event, together we will work to enhance your competence in identifying causes of stress in your life, recognizing how you experience stress, and practicing self-regulation strategies.

*NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED via TELEHEALTH* Ever feel like you have a way to do something, and though it does not work the way it seems like it should, you feel it “works for you?” Do you find that you have a way of behaving and struggle to break free from yourself? I find that humans act in patterns. We think about a problem and act in a way that is the most comfortable to us and tend to repeat these patterns regardless of the result. I work with people living with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger concerns, separation/loss/grief issues, and people coping with discrimination.

Do you find it hard to put yourself first in your relationships? Does it some times feel that no matter how hard you try, you struggle to find joy in every day life? Self care is so important for each person and if we neglect ourselves to care for others, we may have increases in depression and anxiety. Asking for help when things begin to feel overwhelming is the first step in finding the solution. Utilizing my years of training and experience, I have been able to help others “find themselves”, so that they can find the joy they so much deserve once again.

Life is full of challenges: from relationships, families, friendships, to school and employment, to general hardships and life stressors. Traumatic experiences, physical and mental health challenges, discrimination, financial strains, etc., can further impact our capacity to live our desired lives. Increasing your ability to understand and work with your unique story can bring you increased happiness, hope, and rewards. My role is to help you or your loved one find the way to a better today through self reflection and understanding, building on present strengths, and developing new ones.
