Elizabeth Bentley, LCSW

In therapy, I like to create a safe space for my clients to be fully seen and heard, particularly during periods of distress, life transitions and other significant events in their lives.  I work with my clients by exploring their experiences and reflecting on their thoughts and emotions.  I guide them as they explore connections with past experiences and the present.  I bring my natural warmth and empathy to my work, which helps me form strong connections with my clients.  I have training and experience working with individuals who are experiencing a variety of challenges such as: depression, anxiety, life transitions, fertility, sexuality and trauma.

I was born in Houston, Texas and lived in New York City for the last eighteen years. I am so thrilled to be back in Texas and working at Deep Eddy Psychotherapy.  In 2018, I graduated from Adelphi University with a Masters in Social Work and a focus on trauma.  During my training at Adelphi, I worked with children and adolescents in foster care and with trauma survivors.  Upon graduation, I became a therapist at a well regarded group practice in NYC.  Before becoming a therapist, I was an elementary school teacher in New York City.  My diverse experiences in the work place have prepared me to optimize outcomes in the treatment setting.
