Lesley Paige Sagalow

Life can be frustrating, heartbreaking, and completely devastating. I commend you for taking the time to do your own research about therapy and the therapeutic process. I am skilled at creating an environment in which all individuals feel heard, understood, supported, and challenged. I have extensive experience working with adults & adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, attachment issues, and interpersonal relationship conflict. In my experience, therapy provides solace and a much needed respite for all individuals. My background is in Cognitive Therapy and Eco-systemic Structural Family Therapy, which means I have training and a strong interest in your thoughts (what you are telling yourself) and systems that you are a part of (family, work, etc.). Besides talking, other communication strategies I utilize are art, sand tray, and therapeutic books & games. I started the psychotherapy private practice: Forward Psychotherapy LLC, as I am a strong believer in the notion that “forward is forward”. It doesn’t matter how slow you are moving or if you are shuffling your feet– the small steps do add up. Please reach out by email if working together feels like a good fit!
