Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here. I'm Liz Yarock, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist with a primary focus on women and adolescent mental health. It's my passion to empower each woman and girl to unlock the best version of herself. Through meaningful self-discovery and unconditional support, you'll gain deeper insight about your past and present self, develop coping skills, and ultimately experience a renewed sense of hope.
My style:
My therapeutic style is warm, down to earth, compassionate, and deeply intuitive. I care greatly about the individuals I work with and believe it's a privilege to support you in your therapy journey. Therapy is not a one size fits all. I strongly believe in tailoring therapy to your unique needs and meeting you wherever you are. In our work you'll find that I'm deeply compassionate, curious, empathic, and attentive. I balance this with an interactive approach to psychotherapy. As an active therapist, you'll discover that I am deeply motivated to help you achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life.
I consider myself an integrative therapist, in that I use various therapy modalities and techniques to help you discover and build upon your unique inner strengths to live a more fulfilling and balanced life. My approach is rooted in relational therapy and deeply informed by CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Mind-Body techniques.
I believe the human spirit is incredibly strong, resilient, and capable of achieving personal growth and healing with both the right support and focus. Psychotherapy is a powerful way to start your journey towards making lasting changes in your life.
My professional training:
- My work is enriched by advanced trainings and diverse practice. I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, including those with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring disorders.
- I have a post-masters certificate from NYU with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, both of which are highly effective in helping clients achieve their desired goals.
- I received specialized training in working with Highly Sensitive Persons. I'm listed on Dr. Aaron's website as an HSP knowledgeable therapist.
- I have additional certification in child and teen mindfulness and yoga.
- Specialized training in the mind-body approach of Emotional Freedom Technique-Tapping.
- I maintain a daily Transcendental Meditation practice since 2015. I often integrate these practices into my work with clients as they have proven success in reducing stress and improving overall health and well-being.

- Fordham Graduate School of Social Services, Masters in Clinical Social Work

Prioritize Your Well-Being Through Holistic Psychotherapy
I utilize a holistic approach to therapy that takes into consideration the many interrelated parts of the human experience (biological, emotional, cognitive, relational, cultural, and spiritual).
I employ a collaborative and strength-based style of therapy for women. Together we'll identify and build upon your unique strengths, capabilities, and inner-wisdom. Through a compassionate and non-judgmental lens, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and tune into your body cues in new ways to promote a deeper sense of understanding and healing. I will provide you with practical and powerful tools to manage every day life stressors as they arise.
