Description

Lenny has nearly 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. He has extensive training in various therapeutic approaches, including the Satir Model, the Focusing Approach, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). 
Throughout his experience, he has found that people expend a lot of energy on internal and interpersonal struggles. His clients have helped him realize that once they have become more self-understanding, self-accepting, and self-compassionate, their issues can be resolved more effectively.
