Psychotherapist Elizabeth Purdy, LSW

My name is Beth and I am a licensed social worker, working towards my license in clinical social work. I graduated from Monmouth University with a BSW and a MSW in Clinical Practice. I started my career in child welfare and went on to work with other populations such as those experiencing mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse and end of life care. Working with a variety of different populations lead me to want to learn more about trauma and its effects on the mind and body connection. I went back to school and became a licensed massage therapist and Reiki practitioner and am currently working on a certification in trauma studies.

In my clinical work, I have a background in working with clients who suffer from anxiety and depression, personality disorders, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, adjustment disorders and more. I am very passionate about working with people who are looking to get back to their true selves and want to work on healing their past trauma. I combine effective therapeutic practices with holistic healing for overall mind and body care. I am client centered because I believe each person knows themselves best and deserves a personalized treatment in which they feel they can take back control of their life in order to heal and grow.
