About Healing Happens

---

My name is Beverly Furstenberg and I am a LCSW specializing in anxiety disorders including high functioning anxiety, generalized anxiety, and perfectionism. I help my clients overcome and manage the difficulties that having anxiety creates through identifying and correcting cognitive distortions, deconstructing problematic patterns/habits, and learning new skills to reduce the distress unmanaged anxiety produces.

I started Healing Happens with the firm belief in healing - more specifically that healing DOES happen. In life, we either heal or we suffer. When we choose to acknowledge the pain and problems in our lives as well as our own contributions to them, we can then choose what direction in life we are going to take. We can start to heal the moment our pain has been heard and validated. We can heal by learning new ways of thinking, by correcting and challenging self-limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. We can heal by renegotiating and reprioritizing our expectations. We begin the process of healing the moment we decide suffering is no longer an option.

I have been in the field since 2013 and have worked with various populations over the years with a wide variety of concerns, ranging from psychiatric conditions, to addictions, trauma, homelessness and even domestic violence. I have obtained advanced training in the treatment of trauma. I have been providing online counseling services since 2020.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic and interactive. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives, and it is my honor to help them find the options, skills and perspectives that can empower them to make changes, to heal and to live their best, healthiest lives. My approach combines a strengths-based perspective with solution-focused brief therapy, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy. I individualize my approach with each client to ensure their concerns, needs and goals are met.  

Let's work together on what is most important to you. You don't have to do this alone.
