About me
Hello and welcome to my profile! 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. In 2007, I received a Graduate degree in Social Work from Fordham University with a clinical specialization in working with children and their families and was awarded a Children First Scholarship . The vast majority of my work experience consists of working with children, teens and young adults with varying challenges ranging from: trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem/bullying, Asperger's/ADHD, coping with transitions and loss, as well as serious mental illness. I have worked in outpatient mental health clinics, residential treatment programs, schools and in homes. I am skilled in utilizing different treatment applications and believe strongly in multi -systemic treatment approaches. Let's face it, being a parent isn't easy and being a teenager (especially in this day and age) isn't easy either!) I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anastasia Papadopoulos. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH! So kind, patient, and understanding yet really knows how to ask the right questions to get you thinking. I highly recommend
She's been wonderful. I stopped therapy for a short time and came back to work with her.
Easiest person to talk to and super helpful! 100 out of 10!
I love chatting with Anastasia. She has been a huge help in improving myself. She truly listens to everything that you have to say and remembers things that you have said in the past. She truly got me on the better path to adulthood. I am forever grateful and hope to return to therapy soon.
Anastasia is an amazing therapist, always responsive! She exudes professionalism and I feel comfortable talking to her about anything!
The best.
Anastasia has been a great therapist with helping me through various situations and coming up with coping methods in dealing with them.
Has significantly helped me process my feelings and be more confident in myself, dealing with grief and taking action on my life
she's terrific.
From my time with Anastasia I have felt so heard , validated and understood. She has given me incredible tools and advice to take on some struggles I have been working through for some time. I look forward to our session every week, she is very punctual and down to earth - I am super greatful for her and all she’s helped me thru this far!
Very helpful, works with you towards your goals and sets in place ways to make your goals achievable
Staici listens well, and remembers things from past sessions to apply to future ones. My patient health questionnaire progress speaks for itself. I went from the red zone to the green zone in 6 months. Thank you Staici!
Staici is great, and extremely knowledgeable. I started feeling improvements from day 1 and recovered much faster than expected!
She has been helping me so much. Thank you!
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.
Staci has pulled me out of a negative loop. I was in a constant state of stress and worry. She has given me the tools to manage my days, work and stress! I am greatful for signing up and putting my mental health first!
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. She makes me feel heard and creates space for me to be vulnerable. She give thoughtful feedback and questions and gives relevant and appropriately challenging homework. I feel so lucky to have ended up with her!! Could not speak highly enough of her.
Anastasia comes to every session that I have had with a smile on her face and a warm inviting personality. I was nervous about starting therapy but with the help of Anastasia it has turned into something that I look forward to every time a session is scheduled. I'm very grateful that she is my therapist.
She's the best!!!
I’m so happy I started this journey. It’s been so helpful in my children’s life and in my marriage.
Anastasia is very professional and polished. Our daughter connected with her and has blossomed. She has learned how to handle anxiety and has tools to cope with the stresses of school.
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!
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!
The therapist is great! My son is waiting for every session and very engage.
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.
Staci has been helping me stay sober and achieve my goals and I’m very grateful
She has great energy and I love how positive she has been. Looking forward to continuing
Very helpful and listens with attentive care. I highly recommend for various mental specialties. I am very happy with her and how she tells you the hard truth with sympathetic deliveries.
She has helped me so much in such a short period of time. She always listens and I leave every session feeling better than before.
She’s absolutely amazing and has helped me understand many things about my brain. I absolutely love her.
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.
She is so sweet and funny! I have loved our sessions so far.
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!
