Hi there, My name is Leora and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling both online and in person. Some of what I have helped with is working through individuals and couples through life transitions, self-discovery, depression, anxiety, trauma, motivation, and family dynamics. Through this process we can work together to learn new skills and tools to help connect the past with the present, to gain insight onto your life, and challenge any maladaptive thinking patterns that might not be serving you. I like to think of this as a team-approach effort. I will work in a warm, empathetic, and creative way providing motivation and encouragement. I incorporate an eclectic approach of incorporating insight-oriented psychotherapy with behavioral techniques. I received my Masters of Science in Social Work at Columbia University and my Bachelors of Science in Applied Psychology at New York University. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that may challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards making a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
