Leigh Germann, LCSW

Welcome and thank you for your interest in my psychotherapy practice. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. During this time, I have grown to have great respect for the courage and strength of my clients. My approach to therapy involves working with you to create a therapeutic relationship in which you may: gain greater insight and understanding about yourself . identify your resources and strengths. explore issues you are concerned about. learn new skills. make concrete changes that move you toward your goals. In my practice, I utilize several different approaches to assist my clients, such as Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Theory, Psychodynamic theory, Systems theory, Cognitive therapy, and Positive Psychology. I stress self-care as the main building block of therapy. A partial list of the areas I am experienced treating are: Depression and Anxiety Marriage concerns Post-partum adjustment Parenting coaching- (new parent stress, relationship, bonding difficulties, negotiating limits, discipline) Personal Growth- (resolving childhood issues, increasing self-awareness, improving self-esteem, developing assertiveness, setting boundaries) Life Changes- (Divorce, empty nest, coping with illness and grief.) Helping moms is close to my heart. Check out my website takecareofmom.com to find specially designed tools to support women in creating the lives they love. I look forward to meeting with you!
