I am Leah McMullin, LICSW (she/her) licensed therapist in Massachusetts. I specialize in working with teens and young adults. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, depression, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important part of treatment. My style is flexible, empathic, and authentic. I understand that each client is unique and do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach in regard to treatment. My approach is centered on what matters most to you! We can work collaboratively to develop coping skills and strategies for managing distress in life.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support you in that journey. By the end of treatment, I often see clients leaving feeling more empowered, happier, and better equipped to cope with future challenges.

Very understanding and really listens to what you want and what your goals are, very informative on making sure we understand what we really want to get out of therapy. Makes sure as a patient you are truly heard and your opinions matter, very very respectful and professional overall!!

Leah McMullin is very helpful in my experience with her. Not only is she a great listener, she is excellent in giving advice on how to keep one's head up during hard times. Her kindness and authenticity could not be understated.
