Beth Shank, MSW, LCSW, is a psychotherapist who works with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. She is committed to creating a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel accepted, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
Beth brings experience working in a variety of clinical settings, including university support services, eating disorder treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. This background has strengthened her ability to support clients experiencing significant emotional distress while helping them develop practical skills to navigate difficult emotions, relationships, and life challenges.
Beth’s approach is warm, affirming, and practical. As a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Certified Therapist, she helps clients build skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. She believes that meaningful change is supported by both self-acceptance and the willingness to try new ways of responding to life’s challenges.
Beth works with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and identities and is committed to creating a space where people feel respected, supported, and accepted.
Beth is in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna, including the North Carolina State Health Plan. For clients who choose not to use insurance, the fee is $150 per session.
Superbills are available for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement, depending on the terms of their plan. Because insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, some clients prefer not to use insurance in order to maintain greater flexibility and privacy in their care.
