I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in areas such as trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression and substance use disorders. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.
Outside of being a therapist, I am a married mom to two boys and two dogs. I enjoy photography and watching movies whenever possible.
I'm Lizette Amparado a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York that has dedicated her life to helping others become the best version of themselves. I got into counseling so that I can inspire others, give them an outlet to feel heard, and help them understand symptoms and behaviors that others may not understand. Having a mental health disorder can feel lonely, but that is what I am here for.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step and I am here to work collaboratively with you in a safe, supportive, and liberated space. I would like to help you feel less alone with difficult feelings and experience a greater sense of self-agency and fulfillment in your life. I have over 10 years of experience and extensive post-graduate training specializing in depression, anxiety, complex trauma, issues related to identity, and I offer particular attunement to individuals who identify as LGBTQAI+.
My background is in psychoanalytic psychotherapy/psychoanalysis and my approach to therapy is determined by the needs of each individual, which will make our time together a powerful space for self-reflection and growth. Our work together will be an opportunity for you to share your pain and perhaps for the first time, feel heard and understood.
My style is warm, active, and deeply nurturing. If you're having difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, struggling from what seems like uncontrollable worry, or feeling lost and isolated, I am happy to connect with you. You can reach me via a phone call, a text, or email at 347-378-7784 and I will get back to you within 24 hours, Monday-Friday.
