Lilia Leshan, MFT

I would recommend Lilia Leshan as a therapist for a person of any age. She is a very empathetic therapist with a peaceful presence and generous heart.
Lilia has an incredible connection with children and has helped me to deepen my understanding of my son. She has guided me through some tough transitions and helped him with emotions and behavior. Her training as a therapist is grounded in her many years working with children, so she has a real sense of how to bring theory into practice.
In addition to being an MFT with extensive training, she brings her own sensitivities to the subtle ways that children express themselves through play, imagination and art. Children seem to feel safe with her almost immediately and will communicate with her in ways that are astounding to watch.
Lilia helps families to create healthier dynamics in which each person can have a voice and ask for their needs to be met. She truly advocates for children while also recognizing the challenges of parenthood.
One time, I even called her in tears while on vacation in Hawaii. I was unable to remain patient with my child and needed help in that very moment. She took the time to talk me through a crisis so I could go back to my child and find the strength to be the parent he needed me to be.
Thanks Lilia!
