Female Therapists in Hornell, NY

Hi. How are you today? My name is Beth Walker. I am a licensed clinical social worker.

Stress, anxiety, and depression can make us feel stuck and hopeless, but I’m here to tell you that there is hope, and that I can help get you unstuck and back on your way to living a life you're in control of. Many times, the process of starting therapy can feel daunting and almost impossible, but I can promise that the change you desire starts with taking this first step. Although a challenging process, therapy can also be an exciting and rewarding time, full of new discoveries and promise.

Everyone can benefit from therapy! We all have a story to tell, and life just feels hard sometimes. It's never just one thing that causes us to begin looking for help and it can be easy to lose sight of our strength and resilience when we are overcome with stress, shame, or doubt. Whether you are anxious, depressed, experiencing a major life transition, or struggling in a relationship, therapy can provide a wonderful opportunity to find meaning and relief as you cope with life's challenges. It takes courage to ask for help. Regardless of what brought you here, together we can work to solve the problems you feel are holding you back.

Often our deepest wounds have relational origin. Despite our best efforts to create change, we can often feel overwhelmed and defeated amidst the demands of each day. By focusing on developing a healthy relationship between therapist and client, we can create a secure space to understand your concerns more fully. Over time, the hurt and pain can be found and even transformed.

Helping my clients navigate the personal issues that bring them to therapy is a privilege I take very seriously. My clients are willing to team with me to develop therapy goals and work with me to reach those goals. While I have expertise in working with a wide-range of mental health problems and stressors, I believe that therapy requires active work on the client's end as well! I view improvement as a team effort. Please see my website for more details about my services and philosophy.
