What to expect from therapy
-
A safe space. A place that is all about you. A space where you will be seen
-
A place where all feelings are welcome
-
A place where together, we get to explore, excavate, and dig deep
-
A place where you learn to see yourself and appreciate yourself in new ways
-
A place where you discover and uncover parts of yourself that may have been asleep or hidden
-
A place where you don’t have to pretend
-
A place where you learn (or re-learn) the joy of connection, to yourself and to loved ones
-
A place where you discover the strength and resilience you hold within
-
A place where you learn to trust yourself above all
Some logistics
During our initial 15-30 minute consultation, we will get to know one another and decide if we are a good match therapeutically.
Prior to our first session, I will ask you to complete an intake form and sign a HIPAA agreement.
We will continue to get to know one another during our first few sessions together. We will discover which approaches will work best, understand the goals of our work together, and how I can best support you through your exciting, courageous (and at times scary) journey toward self-awareness and acceptance.
What to expect from me
Compassion, collaboration, curiosity, openness, strength, honesty accountability, humor, patience, and guidance
Our sessions will be centered around you. We will use our time to share how you are doing in daily life and connect your experience to the larger goals we are working toward.
At times you will talk. A lot.
Sometimes you will sit in silence. I will sit with you.
Sometimes you will cry.
Sometimes I will ask questions or introduce new perspectives.
You may feel like we are having one long conversation--which may be nice. At times, you will not know what to say.
And through it all I will be there, holding space, guiding, listening.
You will not be alone.
I first started working with Leora at the most difficult time in my life. My mother had just passed away, and I was struggling to cope with my grief. Leora was incredibly compassionate and understanding. She helped me to process my emotions and to develop healthy coping mechanisms. She also encouraged me to take on an overall healing process.
I am so grateful for Leora's help. She has taught me so much about myself and how to live a healthier, happier life. I am no longer afraid to face my emotions, and I am confident in my ability to cope with challenges. I highly recommend Leora to anyone who is seeking therapy.
