Beth Donath-Tish is a New York state licensed clinical social worker who brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work. She earned her master’s degree from Fordham University in 1990 and has provided psychotherapy to teenagers and adults across a range of settings.

Her background includes work in an outpatient psychiatry clinic in New York City, private practice with adults, and counseling for teenagers living in an agency group home. More recently she has been part of a School Based Support Team for the New York City Department of Education, where her responsibilities have included conducting evaluations for students being considered for special education services, providing at-risk and mandated counseling, and participating in 504 meetings related to suspensions for students with Individualized Education Programs.

Beth’s approach to counseling is supportive and empathetic, grounded in a client-centered framework that seeks to meet people where they feel most comfortable. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and traditional psychotherapy, and she emphasizes respect and collaboration as she works with each person to develop an individualized plan.

For initial contact, she prefers either a phone call or an in-person meeting to establish the first connection and discuss next steps.
