Andrew Leonard is a compassionate, careful, and attentive therapist. His questions help guide - but not control - the process of discovery and insight. His demeanor is balanced, courteous and engaging. Definitely a great therapist for my age demographic (I'm 66)

Straight talk here...I am a person who needs to talk my issues out. Generally to exhaustion! Leonard listens. Chimes in and often keeps me on track. This is healing for me...he is perfect

It being my first time seeing a therapist, I was somewhat nervous of what to expect. However, it was so easy to talk to Andrew. Great listening skills, insightful feedback, and the questions he asks prompt much needed self-reflection. I ended every session feeling a a sense of relief and could breathe much easier. Thankful to have been matched with him.
