About me

I have been a therapist for the past 36 years. It takes courage and skills to ask for help. I have worked in numerous settings in New York, Florida, and Trinidad and Tobago. I meet people where they are in their personal lives and have learned throughout my years of experience that each person is unique. I was educated at Adelphi University in Long Island, New York, and have been privileged to work with exceptional people throughout my career. It is always a pleasure to help people to find solutions to their interpersonal issues, I truly believe that all issues have a solution. I have the capability to work with anyone especially adults and individuals who have committed crimes. I use different modalities to work with people. Get to know me.
Learie!

I’ve only met him once so far but Learie seems to be a great and professional therapist. I am looking forward to speaking with him more.

Learie is amazing, not only does he listen to my concerns he has extremly thoughtful insights. He also promotes self journey, which helps me be more aware of my issues and how I can resolve them. Learie is brilliant, kind and brutally honest. He will hold you accountable and give you the strength to hold yourself accountable. If you want to get things done and truly help yourself, this is the therapist for you. I would highly recommend Learie for anyone who is serious about healing and self discovery

Learie was a great help the few times we had session. He listened well and in the short time helped me with my anxieties and referenced many helpful ways to deal with them.
He was very personable and had very positive attitude and presence.
