Getting to know Dr. Beth Wecksell

Beth is a NYS Licensed Psychologist. She earned her Psy.D. in School-Clinical Child Psychology from Pace University in 2013 and her M.S.Ed. in School Psychology from Pace University in 2011. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in psychology at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Beth graduated Summa Cum Laude from Tufts University with a Bachelor's degree in 2004. Beth provides therapy to individuals and families of all ages, specializing in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship problems. She utilizes an eclectic therapeutic framework drawing from psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Beth incorporates mindfulness-based techniques, breathing exercises, visualization, and body scanning into psychotherapy. Her professional background spans a range of settings and populations, including evidence-based treatment of children and families in foster care, trauma-focused therapy for veterans, psychological testing of hospitalized individuals, counseling and IEP evaluations of elementary and middle school students, and long-term supportive psychotherapy of high-functioning individuals. Beth became fluent in Spanish as an adult while teaching English in Costa Rica and living with host families. She continued to use Spanish professionally as a psychologist in New York and during her fellowship at the VA Hospital in San Juan. Beth values opportunities to learn about other cultures and strives to create a therapeutic atmosphere that celebrates cultural identity as a guiding force for positive change.
