Liz Yarock, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
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 to become the best version of herself. Through meaningful self-discovery and unconditional support, you'll develop greater insight on current life stressors and ultimately experience a renewed sense of hope.
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.
My work is enriched by advanced trainings and diverse practice. 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 (hsperson.com), as an HSP knowledgeable therapist.
I have additional certification in child and teen mindfulness and yoga, training in the mind-body approach of Emotional Freedom Technique-Tapping, and 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.

Prioritize Your Well-Being Through Holistic Psychotherapy
I believe the human spirit is incredibly strong, resilient, and capable of achieving personal growth and healing with both the right support and focus. 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 up your unique strengths, capabilities, and inner-wisdom. Through a compassionate and non-judgemental 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.
