Barbara Lehman

My communication style

I offer kindness, empathy and a non-judgmental space for you to discuss those issues most personal but most important to you. My goal is for you to feel 100% comfortable so that we can get to work. I am gentle but I will also be direct. I am easygoing with a sense of humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion to ease suffering and to increase communication and connection through understanding. Through the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, families and older adults in both community mental health settings and private practice. I have helped clients with issues ranging from stress management to psychosis.

My goals for you

People come to therapy for different reasons and have different preferences for how they utilize therapy. I spend time listening and asking questions to understand your issues. I will help you set your goals and find ways to meet them in ways that work for you.

Our first session

The first session is considered an "assessment session" which means, after introductions, you will be describing the issue(s) that have brought you into therapy. If needed, I will be exploring and clarifying with you. Once we are both satisfied with the description of the problem, we can begin to set goals and discuss solutions.
