I began working with Leonard in June 2023 after a low point in my life in one of my most important relationships. Leonard has helped immensely by sharing with me excellent techniques to aid me with my anxiety, communication, and my relationships. He's helped me to understand the importance of celebrating my wins and sharing my thoughts and most importantly my feelings with others who love me. He's also taught me how to cope and be present for my loved ones during difficult times. He is an excellent therapist who is very knowledgeable and interested in helping others. I highly recommend working with Leonard.

Though I spent a limited number of sessions under his guidance due to personal reasons, Leonard Uchendu and was an intellectual and compassionate resource to me as my therapist. At the beginning of each meeting, we would start off with self-reflection where he would ask me how I've been and if I personally saw any improvement in my own behavior. He would then ask me to identify specific areas that I wanted to focus on and we would have conversations/complete relevant activities accordingly. Before the end of each session, we would recap the various concepts and subjects discussed over our time together and he would provide resources to help continue the therapy in his absence. Overall, I really enjoyed our time together and felt as though my concerns were heard/addressed when working with Leonard Uchendu!

Leonard has been a wonderful therapist for me over these past few months. I was nervous to try therapy, but I was quickly able to establish a relationship with Leonard based on trust and understanding and compassion that made the process much easier and, in the end, extremely beneficial. He helped me open up to new methods for dealing with distress and negative thoughts and supported me as I began making those new methods habits in my daily life. Perhaps what I am most grateful for is the fact that Leonard has helped me become more compassionate and patient with myself. That has made everything easier. Leonard is a wonderful therapist and person. I am grateful for all he has helped me with and would highly recommend him to anyone.

He’s been essential for helping me with my anxiety and low sense of self.
Without him I wouldn’t have developed a sense of understanding of my own importance and strengths. He always knew what to say during which moment.
Through all of our sessions he has always been supportive, patient, and kind. It took a session or two for him to understand where the foundation of my issues came from but after that he helped me find healthy ways to help teach me to better myself.
The questions he provided me along with the worksheets really helped with my mental development. `Now I have more tools and methods to keep myself growing and moving forward, or even picking myself up when I’m down. And for all of his help I’m eternally grateful
