About me

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore life purpose, manage social anxiety, and work through deep-seated feelings of guilt and shame.

I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can develop meaningful insights and build resilience.

My work is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I believe in empowering clients to recognize their inherent strengths and develop practical strategies for emotional healing and personal growth. Whether you're experiencing persistent emotional challenges or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

Through evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach, I aim to help you cultivate greater self-compassion, emotional clarity, and a sense of purpose. Together, we can explore your experiences, transform limiting beliefs, and create pathways toward more fulfilling life experiences.

i like Ms Moriarty a lot. She is definitely knowledgeable about serious life issues and willing to take them on with me. Shee doesn’t just give basic platitudes and quick solutions ( which i know don’t work for me).

She is kind and empathetic. I have had 2 sessions and will be back! ;)

Leslie is fantastic. The way she has connected with me as a person in need of healing is truly genuine and beautiful. Such a warm soul with a wealth of expertise, and I cannot say enough about her serene demeanor. I feel blessed to have connected with Leslie as she has already helped me a lot in a short time.

Such an amazing listener. Always very patient and tries to understand the whole situation before giving any feedback. I am glad to have her as my therapist.
