Beth Pelletier, MSW, LMSW
About Beth
Beth is a Social Worker who believes each person brings a unique story and personal perspective to the therapy room, and her approach recognizes, acknowledges, and affirms your individual humanity.
Beth empowers clients, helping them identify how they want their lives to look and what it takes to get there. There is power in allowing people to feel heard and really seeing them for who they are, and Beth aims to make this the heart of her practice by providing a warm, compassionate, conversational space to explore their concerns.
Beth got her start in therapy working at GV’s University Counseling Center and loves working with college students and young adults. She specializes in treating OCD, perfectionism, and anxiety and wants to help clients reclaim their lives from worries, compulsions, and shame. It can be scary to think about what life would be like without anxiety, but Beth knows that it is truly more fun, more fulfilling, and more joyful when you make choices according to your values instead of fear calling the shots.
