Hi! My name is Staici, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with sixteen years of clinical experience. My passion and drive to help people originated when I was a teenager and my mother received a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I set out to essentially "save" my mom and others suffering from mental health issues. During my professional studies, I took every psychology and social service course available because I developed a fascination with how the mind works and how it effects human behavior. I received a Graduate degree from Fordham University in 2007. I also learned how to navigate the system and was able to connect my mom to the services she needed and, boy did it help! I got my best friend back and realized how effective mental health treatment really is.
I stayed true to my calling and can honestly say I love what I do! I possess extensive knowledge and experience working with all different age groups, races, and ethnicities in various treatment settings such as schools, outpatient clinics, hospitals and homes. I am certified and trained in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, trauma- informed care. client -centered treatment and mediation.
What can I offer you? I will provide you with a safe, genuine, nonjudgmental space. You will receive consistent support and empowerment and we will move at a pace that is most comfortable for you. I will leave you with one of my favorite poems and hope to hear from you!
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
I.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
II.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I still don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
It isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
III.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there, I still fall in.
It's habit. It's my fault. I know where I am.
I get out immediately.
IV.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
V.
I walk down a different street.

I’ve been to therapy before, my previous therapist didn’t quite fit with me and our session often weren’t helpful. In the little time I’ve been with Anastasia, she’s helped me have a better understanding of the things that trouble me. She makes sure to get to the root of the problem and give me the proper tools to help myself. I think Anastasia is a great fit for me and amazing at what she does.

Anastasia and I hit it off right away! She is down to earth, has a very friendly demeanor that puts you at ease. The very first session she had tools for me to use right off the bat. I’ve had therapist in the past that just listen and ask questions and that’s not what I was looking for. I was looking for somebody who could listen understand and offer me tools, and help to heal, and to cope with what I was dealing with and she has done that right from the start. I’m very happy with her and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.

Anastasia is a wonderful therapist, she made be feel comfortable and at ease immediately and I look forward to every session with her. She is kind, open, inquisitive, disarming, bright and positive.

Anastasia comes to every session that I have had with a smile on her face and a warm inviting personality.

Ive been a client of Staici for 8 months or so now, and I really can't say enough positive sentiments about her and my experience. I have a few layers of items I wanted to work through - grief, loss, boundaries, trauma - and somehow she works and supports me through all of them with a really bubbly, friendly, open personality and always gives tactical steps/feedback for you to work into your daily life to move forward in steps that really dont feel overwhelming. All of the rave reviews she has are absolutely correct, she is the best!
Written on Jun 28, 2022 after therapy with Anastasia for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and grief
Staici did a fantastic job of identifying my needs and adapting her practice to my specific experience. She was excellent and providing a safe space for me to share what I needed to as well as challenging my current thoughts. I cannot recommend her enough!
Written on Jun 03, 2022 after therapy with Anastasia for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue
I’ve been seeing Staici for almost a year and she has been incredibly supportive of my journey in learning how to cope with grief and lean on my community. She is attentive and remembers things that have been shared in past sessions so I always felt that I was heard in every session. She is deeply compassionate when she asks difficult but important questions and meets you where you are.

Anastasia has allowed me to start understanding where my anxiety comes from and how to start working on myself. Its only been 2 sessions and already feel amazing. I wish we had more time, thats how much I love her. Would recommend 100% to anyone.

Staici has made it easy for me to express my feelings in a non-judgmental and safe environment. There are things I do not feel comfortable talking about with anyone else, and how she has responded to things has been nothing short of amazing. Professional, warming, and understanding are just a few words I have felt when talking to her. It's a great feeling knowing I have someone like Staici to go to with my problems, and if everyone had someone like her in their corner, they'd be in safe hands.

Written on Sep 19, 2021 after therapy with Anastasia for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self esteem, and anger management
I have had my fair share of therapists, and have never been able to completely let go and be honest with any of them. I felt a connection with Anastasia almost immediately. I typically tell a few white lies on my first session, just as habit. Tonight was no different and very early in the conversation i gave false information. As the conversation carried on, I paused, confessed, apologized,, came clean and retracted my previous statement as false.. I did this because i felt comfortable and safe for the first time, ever.. i so desperately want to have an honest relationship with my therapist, and feel I can do that easily and completely now. I would highly recommend Anastasia. She had all the qualifications and background (knowledge) that I was looking for. And I am very optimistic I will be successful in making the changes and improvements in myself that I want for a netter stronger me with her in my corner. 45 minutes and an extremely happy client!!. Very simple process (Betterhealth), I found and matched the therapist that best suited my needs, and I am so happy with BetterHealth and the quality and service they provide. Yay!
