Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a the first and often most difficult step toward getting the help and support you are seeking. It can often be a bit scary and intimidating to reach out and make yourself vulnerable to a new person, but I assure you that I will do my absolute best to help you feel comfortable and to support the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My name is Blaire Schroder and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both New York and New Jersey. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in 2009 and have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Queens College as all of my secondary education is in the field of mental health. I have approximately 14 years of professional experience working in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting and more. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles with. I believe we all have the capacity to develop self-awareness through our challenges and therefore be equipped to make positive changes and improve our overall quality of life. Sometimes an individual with an outside perspective and no prior connection can offer an unbiased perspective, can provide helpful support, and can guide and motivate us to successfully address a difficult situation at times when we may feel otherwise stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal experiences, perspectives, feelings and even flaws, and have a strong desire to be both accepted and understood. I believe that being open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story with me to be critical to the development of a trusting relationship and I sincerely look forward to developing that connection with you.

Hi, I’m Christie, a licensed mental health counselor with experience in community mental health clinics and in schools, supporting individuals from childhood through adulthood. My passion lies in working with young adults and women navigating the challenges of adulthood, identity, relationships, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-achieving and introspective—motivated to change but feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I take a person-centered approach to therapy because I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn’t to give you all the answers but to walk alongside you as you explore what feels right for you. I also incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helping clients recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected—and how small, intentional shifts can create meaningful change. I believe in treating the whole person. Our challenges rarely stem from just one source—they are shaped by everything from our relationships and environment to our beliefs, habits, and past experiences. Sometimes, real change comes not just from shifting our mindset but from setting boundaries, changing our surroundings, or learning to accept what we can’t control. Therapy is about untangling these complexities, finding clarity, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you need. I know that life doesn’t come with a roadmap, and sometimes we just need space to gain perspective and reconnect with ourselves. If you’re looking for a collaborative, supportive space to explore what’s next, I’d love to help.
