I have dedicated twenty years of my professional life to the pursuit of a thorough and complete knowledge of human behavior. My intention is to understand people who want to change, experience satisfaction, serenity and the achievement of personal growth. As a Clinical Social Worker I try to cover every possible scenario one could imagine. Looking at multiple dimensions of you as a person, your environment and timeline, as well as how affected you have been during your experience of the different life stages. Supporting the process to find or reach your own personal goals. I use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment to help determine the areas in your life you need or want support. My approach to therapy is client centered, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate. Most of my practice has focused on issues with trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and addictions. I am aware of the technological transformation that has occurred in the way we live and communicate. Therefore, I have embraced online therapy as a way of providing relief and healing through therapy, counseling, coaching and support. More importantly, my goal is to have a successful therapeutic relationship with you, based on a deep understanding of your needs.

Hi. My name is Faith Lang and I'm here to help! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I 've had the opportunity to work with people of various ages, backgrounds and ethnicities to enhance all aspects of their life. As a result, I've found that many people achieve great comfort by evaluating past beliefs and finding a new perspective regarding the meaning of life. My specialty in addiction has shown me that all people can change and that behavioral change can lead to enhanced self esteem and the ability to move forward in life. A prior Masters in Special Education and teaching experience provided an understanding of the uniqueness of each individual and created a close rapport with children and adolescents. With this combined knowledge I've been fortunate to see great success with so many clients. As supervisor of a chemical dependency program, I had the opportunity to create programs assisting both addicts and their families . I've also taught upcoming counselors in a county chemical dependency program and trained interns. In private practice, I've counseled individuals and families to acquire emotional support and achieve greater understanding of themselves through the use of many techniques, including hypnotherapy. The result of being raised in a society where we are encouraged to believe that more is better often leads to impulsive and compulsive behaviors, resulting in anxiety and depression. However, it's possible to look at life through a new lens. I hope to help you do it!

I believe that everyone deserves time and a safe space for self-care, where individuals can be heard without judgement. I also believe that everyone deserves to work through concerns while feeling supported when making difficult decisions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in mental health for almost 20 years. I have worked with people who have been diagnosed with: Bi-polar, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and life-limiting medical illnesses, as well as people dealing with grief, phobias, relationship and school issues. I have worked in community, inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings. I like to utilize a variety of treatment modalities because I have found that a “one size fits all” approach to mental health, is about as relatable to most people as a one size fits all bathing suit. I am proud of you for reaching out and I look forward to working with you.

Licensed psychoanalyst with 24 years of experience. I work with people who struggle with high anxiety, self esteem and self worth issues, people who grew up in an emotionally toxic environment. I have experience helping people who are or have been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or who were part of an environment that made them feel suffocated and not being seen. Patients who were exposed to a emotionally toxic environment can feel how it freezes their emotional growth. Working on liberating one's psyche one realizes how resiliency sets in helping to brave inner toxicity daily. It's a quiet strength that appears as emotional growth proceeds. I use a psychodynamic approach, I admire the work of Philip Bromberg, Donald Winnicott, Francoise Dolto, Paul Claude Racamier, Christopher Bollas. During a session I focus on identifying dynamics, if I may say so, they appear as emotional footprints. A patient who feels controlled by their emotions gradually acquires tools to manage and understand their suffering in order to obtain more emotional freedom.

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in working with me at Betterhelp. I’d like to take a few moments to introduce myself so that you can better decide whether you and I will be a good fit for working together as you pursue your goals. I am licensed in New York with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am trained and certified with EMDRIA as a certified EMDR specialist. I have received a post-graduate degree in trauma and dissociation, and I am trained in clinical hypnosis through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I am very grounded in systems thinking and recognize that a change in one area of our lives changes all areas of our lives. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Even before graduating from Regent University with my MA in CMHC, I worked as a volunteer counseling paraprofessional for 8 years with the United States Army serving our veterans and their families. My BA in theology from NBC also enabled me to serve in a pastoral counseling role in the civilian world. All of this experience, along with a 30+ years marriage, raising children, thriving despite a chronic illness, and facing life in general, informs my counseling and coaching practice. Life coaching provided an opportunity for me to continue offering personal growth support to others through an empathic and informed interpersonal engagement process, while also allowing me the ability to be mobile. My program at iNLP is accredited by the largest and most reputable coaching regulatory system- the International Coaching Federation, as well as by the National Board for Certified Counselors, a mental health credentialing body. Although a surprise to me at first, I have fallen in love with the coaching process. Client empowerment was always huge for me as a counselor and my stance was to never offer advice but to believe in my client’s own ability to co-create a plan to address mental health challenges. Coaching has enabled me to take this client-empowered stance even more seriously through the process it utilizes, whether in a coaching or counseling setting. Logistical Information about services I offer through BetterHelp: As we work together, it is important that you understand that we will do the majority of our contact through our scheduled sessions, and much less through chat. I work part-time ( Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) here at BetterHelp, I will respond as soon as possible, on those days, to messages I receive. I am certain you can appreciate the necessity of a healthy work-life balance, and this is one way I guard my own wellbeing.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 24 years of professional work experience. Yet that isn't the most important characteristic for you to know about me. As a follower of Jesus Christ, it is through the lens of His love for others that I see the value of life, that I live in respect for ALL others, and I see the possibilities for sanctification (to set apart for special use or purpose), for healing, and for redemption to pain in this life. I believe Jesus to be the Son of God and that He is the greatest therapist to have ever lived and loved. A client's own belief system will be explored to help them attain their therapeutic goals as well as guidance given based on the Bible that is relevant to individual needs. Born and raised in Tennessee, Georgia was home before moving to New York. Through the years, experience has included that such as assisting clients with stress and anxiety, decision-making, communication & relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence, and parenting & family issues (including work with birth parents, foster and adoptive parents as well as families of children with disabilities). Feeling safe, respected, and heard is paramount for individuals and will be met with sensitivity and compassion. Our dialogue will be goal-directed, and the treatment plan will be tailored to your unique and specific needs with a time frame for growth in healing that brings hope. It takes courage to take steps for change towards more fulfilling and joy-filled moments in life. Through your journey, I am here to support & empower you, guiding you through to self-actualization.
