Abby Leefer

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years in practice. My goal in my practice is to provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment in which my clients can explore their struggles and figure out how to best address them, so that they are able to experience more peace and live more authentically. I employ a variety of techniques to achieve these goals, including cognitive behavioral, psychoanalytic, family systems and most importantly, Rogerian based humanistic treatment. My belief about therapy is that it should be client centered; that every person is unique, and should be treated as such. In short, I listen nonjudgmentally and carefully, to help my clients better understand themselves and how they came to be who they are, and strategize with them to make the changes they want and come to terms with the things they cannot change. Everyone holds the key to their own peace of mind, it is my job to help to help them uncover it. I believe therapy can be collaborative, and I will work to help you feel comfortable. I also believe much of the success that comes in therapy is a result of a “click” between therapist and client. If you feel that I might be the right fit for you, please contact me and I will provide guidance and a safe place to explore what you want and need for yourself.
