I Leona Abrams, LCSW-R, APHSW-C

I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker who works with a wide range of clients, including depression, anxiety, grief, loss, life transition, relationship issues, and overall life wellness. I have a down-to-earth, collaborative approach with a focus on evidence-informed treatments and long-term results.

I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University in New York and have over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in a home hospice program.  I worked with patients and families with a wide range of concerns that included grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.  I genuinely want to know and understand you and will listen to your story with heart and empathy while validating your feelings and experiences.  Our sessions will have an interactive conversational quality while you control the pace and focus of our work.  Realizing that no two people are alike, I tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.  My holistic approach combines motivational interviewing, person-centered, acceptance and commitment, and cognitive behavioral therapies that encourage self-exploration, self-discovery, and acceptance.  I am committed to providing respect in a warm, comfortable and nonjudgmental atmosphere.  It takes great courage to ask for help; this is where counseling begins.  I honor your bravery and your decision to find your joy.  I am dedicated to helping you when you are ready.
