Hello, my name is Bethany Nelligan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State. I bring over 16 years of experience in the mental health field, including more than 3 years as a middle school counselor. I have over 16 years of experience working in a psychiatric inpatient hospital, serving clients of all ages as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, we'll begin with introductions and then get into the specific challenges you're encountering. Understanding these will assist me in developing a personalized plan for our future appointments. My primary aim is to support you in gaining clarity, setting objectives, and pursuing a rewarding life. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to navigate their feelings and thoughts, enhance coping mechanisms, and strengthen resilience.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I bring a diverse skill set that includes empathy, active listening, effective communication, problem-solving abilities, flexibility, self-awareness, and a strong commitment to continuous learning.
