Leah Krinsky Atkins

Hi there, I'm Leah!

I'm an LMFT with 11 years of experience. My ultimate goal in my therapy work is to help my clients believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. I work with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and countless life issues.

My focus

While I am deeply humanistic, I also frequently employ elements from CBT and DBT. My work is informed by Object Relations theory, in which the therapist provides the client with empathy and attunement. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR, which is an invaluable tool for clients struggling with trauma.

My approach

Change is part of life, so why is it so hard sometimes? Often, we know we need to make changes in order to live the full, dynamic life we long for, but can't take that first step. I help my clients challenge what's holding them back, be it internal or external. I do this with gentleness and directness, warmth and playfulness, head and heart.
