Hello. My name is Beth Zagorski, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

My Background

I obtained my Master of Social Work from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, in 2004. I chose social work because I am passionate about working in a field where I am given the opportunity to help others.

With almost twenty years working in human services, I have dedicated my career to working with children and adults experiencing a variety of mental health challenges, including addiction, family conflict, and relationship issues. I also counsel adolescents, teens, and adults for anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief and loss, pregnancy, co-occurring issues, domestic/family violence, childhood trauma, self-esteem issues, and self-harm. I help children, teens, young adults, and adults navigate many aspects of our emotions and behaviors to reach social, family, and mental health.

My Goal: Empowering you

My goal is to help you overcome barriers that may make you feel “stuck” and help you work towards your own goals and solutions. I want to help empower you to learn tools to cope with your mental health concerns in a safe, nonjudgmental space using a collaborative approach.

My Therapy Approach

I believe everyone can change and take positive steps to improve their lives. I believe everyone struggles from time to time, and extra support through therapy can be the key to navigating through a difficult time or making and sustaining changes. Each person is unique in their feelings and emotions; therefore, it is important to tailor treatment needs based on your needs and goals. I believe in meeting you where you are in your therapy journey. Whether you are ambivalent about making a change, ready to make a change, or need help to support you in maintaining your goals, I will help provide insight and motivation to empower you to move forward.

Techniques & Training

Because everyone is unique in their journey, I utilize a combination of different models of goal-oriented interventions tailored to you, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), aspects of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Having support through therapy can be the key to making strides toward goals and making and sustaining change.

About Me

I am from a small town in Western PA and recently moved back to Pittsburgh from Washington DC after living there for over 25 years to spend more time with my family and friends. I love to spend time with my silly cat Lucy, exploring the city, finding new places to dine, and finding interesting spots to meet up with friends. I enjoy traveling, binge-watching shows, and spending time outdoors, whether walking, hiking, or sporting events.
