Greetings my name is Krystle Broadbelt, LCSW and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, who has been practicing in diverse mental health settings for the past 11 years. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, family conflicts; self esteem issues, trauma and abuse. I create a safe space that allows clients to be open and forthcoming in a non-judgmental environment. We will work together to build a fostering therapeutic relationship to overcome any obstacles you may be facing. My approach to therapy is strengths based, holistic and supportive. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, individualized and solution focused experience. We will work together and use a variety of appropriate treatment modalities for your situation. Some may include CBT to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors or Narrative therapy to forge a new path to self-empowerment. This will allow you to see that you are the author of your life despite any internal and external circumstances that may be standing in your way. Depending on your story we may need to address past trauma that is affecting your path to professional, personal and relationship goals. Therapy is not a one size fits all approach and together we will engage in the best style for your needs. I also value culture sensitivity and how it impacts therapy. I commend you for taking the first step to seeking professional help. I know that this journey may be scary and it is important to find the right therapist/ client fit. There will be good and bad days but I will help you navigate life’s challenges, especially in the new normal that we all live in. In my years of practice I have learned that the human spirit is more resilient than we presume and with the right tools you truly can overcome anything. I look forward to working with you.
