Working in the Mental Health department of a NYC Human Services Agency, Marybeth uses music, art, and creative writing to offer an expressive outlet to youth impacted by child welfare and detention systems.  Marybeth leads individual and group sessions in congregate living facilities, youth reception centers, and juvenile detention centers in Manhattan and The Bronx.  These trauma-informed sessions are rooted in connection and self-expression.
