Carli Betman, LMSW

Licensed Therapist

Navigating life is stressful, as is finding a therapist that can help you cope with it. I will be an active participant during our sessions, while providing insight and strategies to help you handle current and future situations with confidence. I am an empathetic and compassionate clinician who will listen and support you in reaching your goals and full potential. Through our collaborative work, we will focus on what you wish to get out of therapy and on becoming the best version of yourself.

I believe that finding a therapist with whom you can connect with and trust is crucial to success in therapy. I am solution-focused, which means I help to build practical solutions to complex problems in your life. I have worked with diverse client populations all learning to conquer life’s ongoing obstacles. Being vulnerable and truly participating in therapy can be scary and difficult, but through our work together, you will feel supported and empowered to handle the challenges life presents.

Therapists for Anxiety, Depression and Couples

Training and Education

I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Michigan with a major in Psychology and a minor in Law, Justice, and Social Change. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University. 

I have worked in multiple mental health care settings. I have experience working in the Children’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (C-CPEP) at Bellevue Hospital where I conducted crisis evaluations, lead therapy groups, and worked with children and adolescents individually. I currently work in a psychiatric inpatient unit at Bellevue Hospital where I conduct assessments, provide individual and group counseling to my patients, and provide parenting support. I have experience treating acute as well as long standing anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I am interested in both increasing access to and destigmatizing mental health treatment.

What our clients say about us

“ I’ve been working with Jessica for nearly a year and am very grateful for our sessions, especially with the pandemic. She is a great listener and very down to earth. She remembers a lot of small details about my life and has connected many dots for me.”

- Verified Patient

“One of the most thoughtful and professional therapists that I've gone to. She listens carefully and patiently to what you have in mind without presuming anything about your problems and who you are; something that has really annoyed me in my previous experiences with therapists in general.”

- Verified Patient

“Dr. Behr is the absolute best. Brilliant and responsive, her knowledge base and ability to point out things you can't see through the things you say and the way you say them is phenomenal. My time with her has been invaluable, especially during the pandemic.”

- Verified Patient

“Dr. Jess has helped me so much with my anxiety and worry. She helps me see different perspectives on my problems which really helps. She also is always willing to call me and talk to me in between sessions if I need anything or add me to twice a week when I needed it. I really recommend her if your struggling with anything. She will help you.”

- Verified Patient

“I have been rebirthed by the work I'm currently doing with Dr. Behr. She is gentle, kind, always reassuring with the right words or suggestions. She has been a phone call away during times of my distress, a "cheerleader" for my personal and professional development, and reassuring when I doubt myself. She is quick to remind me "you are doing the work, I’m just helping you find what you already have within yourself". But, without her guidance my journey would be a lot more daunting. I walked into her office broken, sad and jaded, today I am healing, hopeful and most importantly happy!!”
