I haven’t been with Helen very long, but already she’s been amazing. Just knowing she’s a phone call or text away to be there for me has been very calming for me. She’s a very holistic and caring person, and she believes in a level of soulfulness and compassion spirituality that makes it hard to be in a bad mood when I chat with her. I hope under her guidance that I’ll continue to improve physically and mentally

  • 25 years' experience

  • LICSW, LCSW

Hi, my name is Helen, and I am an accomplished Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with twenty-five years of progressively responsible experience in the field of social work. Throughout all my years of work, I have always viewed my main task as building rapport with patients and their families, while providing effective, and time sensitive appropriate counseling. I am experienced in telehealth having successfully worked from home with online counseling through Aetna for at least five years. I am excited to be providing this service once again online to assist, encourage, and support those in need of help.

My extensive work history and training has allowed me to gain experience and mastery knowledge in behavioral health, mental health, social work, program planning, development and implementation. My work experience includes an active history providing all aspects of social work principles with diverse populations in varied settings. I excelled in developing close communication and excellent working relationships with individuals, numerous community leaders, and resources, establishing vital networks to ensure availability of placement, with smooth transitions upon discharge as needed. My earlier experience included work with military populace where I was responsible for investigating all assigned cases of child abuse, neglect, molestation domestic violence, and presenting my findings of either substantiated or unsubstantiated, to the Family Advocacy Program, (FAP). In other agencies I provided sensitive time-limited casework services to children and families. I have also provided marital counseling, parent-child education and casework planning as needed, in addition to referring clients for psychological/psychiatric evaluations and treatment. Additional experience was gained at the state mental health hospital, where I served as a float Psychiatric Social Worker. As a float, my services were utilized on every ward throughout the entire hospital, to include specialized units such as geriatrics, traumatic brain injury (TBI), sexual assault, and forensics, to name a few. I look forward to speaking with you!

It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

Helen has been extremely supportive during these months of stay-at-home. She is encouraging and able to get me to identify my core concerns, not just the surface issues. She is a wonderful counselor!

Reviewed November 2020

Helen is an incredible listener and very respectful of boundaries. There are some topics I am not ready to dive into, and she is very careful to navigate around them. She is patient and kind, which makes it easy to open up to her. I feel like she sincerely cares about me and what I have to say. I've gone through many counselors in my life, and Helen is one of those rare gems who make me feel like there isn't something "wrong" with me. She encourages me to grow instead of focusing on the things I cannot control. I can't say enough nice things about her, and I'd recommend her to anybody in a heart beat.
