Leonard is incredibly well read, articulate, intuitive, patient and always knows just what to say. In him i found exactly what I had hoped to find in a therapist, someone with a depth of understanding and life experience, who can offer deep understanding, insight and reflection. I look forward to our sessions, and always leave with a renewed sense of hope, acceptance and strength.
