About Dr. Warsof
Dr. Beth Warsof, PhD (she/her)
Developmental Psychologist I Life Coach I Wellness Educator
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. ☺️
I’m a developmental psychologist, life coach, and wellness educator who works at the intersection of science and self-love. My work is rooted in developmental theory, while also being deeply human: I help people understand where they've come from, how they’ve adapted, and what possibilities might unfold from there.
I bring over a decade of experience in developmental psychology, specializing in emotional development, early relationships, and the ways our past shapes our present. I work with children and adults, supporting parents to show up with greater presence for their children and their own authentic selves. I’ve done this work for almost two decades and I’m grateful to learn more each new day.
My approach blends compassion and curiosity with practical, research-informed guidance. I hold space for complexity, and I’ve learned we have just as much to learn from our shadows as we do our light. Emotions, in ourselves and in our children, aren’t ever problems to solve. They’re deeply intuitive messages we can listen to, learn from, and guide us into closer relationships and greater alignment. 🙏
Clinically, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents with developmental, emotional, and learning differences, including ADHD, autism spectrum, learning disabilities, mood challenges, and a range of special needs.
My consultations are caring and collaborative; we’re not just labeling a challenge, but understanding the whole child. I draw from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based approaches, neurobiopsychology, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), restorative justice, and somatic work.
My work is developmentally attuned, relationship-centered, and committed to honoring each child and family’s unique strengths, needs, and experience. I welcome all family structures and relationships; I look forward to welcoming you too.
