Betsy Suárez is a licensed mental health counselor at LifeStance Health who offers compassionate, expert therapy to adolescents, adults, and families throughout New York. She supports clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma by creating a culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered. Her holistic and strength-based approach guides clients toward emotional growth, self-awareness, and stronger relationships. With over a decade of clinical experience, Betsy provides both individual and family therapy tailored to each client’s needs. She specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and faith-based treatment for those who value spiritual integration in their healing process. Betsy helps teens and adults develop tools to manage overwhelming emotions, improve communication, and reconnect with their inner resilience. She also supports families in fostering healthier dynamics and stronger connections. Betsy has a deep passion for working with individuals impacted by trauma, substance use, and grief. She offers focused care for those struggling with PTSD, alcohol and drug use issues, and life-altering losses. With empathy and clinical precision, she walks alongside clients as they reclaim stability and hope. Betsy also supports people through major life transitions, including midlife changes and aging-related challenges, helping them navigate these shifts with clarity and confidence. Outside of her professional life, Betsy finds joy in music and creativity. She plays both piano and guitar, and believes in the healing power of artistic expression and reflection.
