Welcome to my practice! I specialize in working with teens (ages 13 to 18) and young adults (18-21). I work with a variety of issues/topics including: neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, PDA), depression, anxiety, academic issues, bullying/peer issues, trauma and family relationships. I work with the LGBTQIA+ community and enjoy working with teens who are questioning or having concerns around sexuality or gender identity. When working with teens, establishing a connection and safety is my first goal. Once we have a trusting relationship, I work with them find their own goals that will enhance their life and relationships.

While I am passionate about helping others learn how to help themselves, I feel I have a unique approach to therapy. I have a very hands-on and direct approach, meaning I may not tell you what you WANT to hear but what you NEED to hear. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with severe mental illness such as Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Anger, Identity Issues, Mood Disorders and Substance Use. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), both trauma therapies designed to help clients heal and move on with their lives.

Additionally, I work with neurodiversity in my practice, specifically with Autism and ADHD. I work from a neurodiveristy affirming lens, meaning I see all neurotypes as equal and give them the respect they deserve in the therapeutic space. I have lived experience with neurodiveristy and I have a personal passion in this area.

My lived experience with neurodiversity and being bi-cultural help me to assist couples in finding more connection and understanding for one another.

Are you seeking a couples therapist that specifically works with ADHD, autism, and mixed neurotype couples? That's me! I am neurodivergent myself, and I love exploring with couples how they can learn to communicate in ways that are affirming for each other's neurotype. Our neurotype (ADHD, Autism) affects the way we perceive the world, communicate, regulate our emotions, and the ways we express love. I am trained in couples therapy methods (such as the Gottman Method, EFT) and I work intentionally to make these methods neurodiversity affirming. I love to help couples understand each other and have those lightbulb moments!

Every child is unique. To help children overcome social, emotional, behavioral, developmental, and/or academic challenges, we can't be preoccupied with simply signing labels. Rather, we need to identify a child's individual strengths as well as their weaknesses in order to design effective strategies that suit their needs. We work closely with parents, schools, and other professionals to establish a comprehensive picture of the whole child. It's from this highly individualized approach along with the collaboration with those that know the child/teen well, that we are able to create the most significant and dramatic change!

I understand that it can be hard to ask for help and I applaud you for taking this step. I hope that I will be able to work with you, your child, or your family in finding the answers that you are seeking through the therapy process. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults and couples who are experiencing life stressors, depression, anxiety, Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning differences, addiction, anger, grief and bereavement, life transitions, family conflict, and personal growth. I look forward to working with you. Lea Zweig, PsyD PSY29254
