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!

Anastasia guided my daughter with grace and kindness. We would highly recommend her

Written on Mar 06, 2025 after therapy with Anastasia for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety

I love Anastasia Papadopoulos! I have seen myself grow so much through therapy in a much quicker way than expected. I have become more comfortable in social situations which has been a major trigger point for me throughout my life. Instead of having a blank social calendar I am often busy during the weekends now, which feels great. Stasi offers a very supportive therapeutic environment that allows for growth without feeling pressured. I feel that I can accomplish anything with Stasi in my corner! Thank you so much Anastasia Papadopoulos!

Staici has been godsend. I needed help urgently and I was able to match with her within 48 hours. She has been so helpful! She listens to me patiently, always encouraged me to choose myself and gives me practical tips and tricks to tackle one thing at a time. Very grateful for her!

She’s honestly the most understanding person and capable therapist I’ve ever met. I always talk about how fantastic she is to everyone in my life. She helped me build a whole new healthy framework for coping and I feel 100000x stronger than I did when we started.

I just started speaking with Anastasia so it is difficult to recommend since I've only had one session. From that one session, I feel confident enough to say that she is very attentive and easy to talk to. She gave me some good recommendations and Iw ill continue to use her services for the foreseeable future.

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. 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.

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.

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

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 03, 2022 after therapy with Anastasia for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue

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!

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.

Written on Nov 10, 2021 after therapy with Anastasia for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and intimacy-related issues

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.

Written on Aug 25, 2021 after therapy with Anastasia for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, and adhd

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!

Work with me!
