BETH S. KANE, MSW, LCSW, DBTC, CMHIMP
Welcome!
My goal is always to empower you to lead a more joyful life. Through personalized holistic therapeutic approaches, we can explore your unique challenges and co-create a path towards improved mental well-being. Together, we will focus on strategies that resonate with you and foster a sense of calm and clarity in your daily experiences.
I earned my Master’s in social work in 1991, beginning my healthcare career. I became the Director of an outpatient mental health center, where I worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and severe mental illness. This experience deepened my understanding of mental health and the need for personalized support.
I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use various evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. My method focuses on building skills, which helps people improve how they cope with challenges. I am also certified as an Integrative Mental Health Practitioner, enabling me to look at mental health from a broad viewpoint. By combining these approaches, I aim to help clients improve their mental health and overall well-being.
As a certified Integrative Mental Health Practitioner, I offer various therapeutic modalities to meet my clients' needs. We can combine traditional and holistic methods, including energy and spiritual practices, based on what resonates with you. This personalized approach supports your mental wellness, honoring your unique preferences and goals while creating a safe space for your mental health journey.
My counseling style has been described as warm, laid back, attentive along with a good sense of humor. My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible.
I’ve lived at the Jersey Shore my entire life. I love being in, and on, the water, gardening, spending time connecting to nature and the dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife that has befriended me. Most of all, my family is my foundation in everything I do.
