MaryEllen Leger, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm MaryEllen!

I would love to help you find your answers. Together, we can utilize various therapy techniques that are best suited to you so that you can find your peace and happiness.

My focus

You are the expert of your story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming stress, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, among others. Together, we will find what is best suited to you.

My communication style

I utilize an open communication style where you are free to express yourself however you feel most comfortable, and where you are not judged. I will actively listen and welcome you to freely share what you choose to at your own pace. My goal is for you to feel very comfortable and never pressured.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping people. I have worked with children, adults with severe and persistent mental health diagnoses, and individuals, couples, and families. It is very rewarding to see people realize their goals and know they can navigate the path to a happier, more fulfilling life.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you achieve your goals as you decide what your desired outcomes are. Together, we can establish and obtain what you desire. Collaborating with you to recognize your strengths and find your answers is my goal.

Our first session

During our first session, we will get to know each other. You can tell me what you would like help with, about your background, and what your expectations of therapy are. I will tell you a little bit about myself so that you feel comfortable and know what to expect moving forward.
