Smadar is very knowledgeable and warm. She is easy to talk to, and compassionate. Struggling with anxiety hasn’t been easy but Smadar was able to help, she is funny and very personable. One of the most caring psychotherapist I have met, and does check in after sessions to see how I am coping. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Smadar was very helpful and caring. She consistently checked in with me and was always very quick with responses. Dr. Smadar ensures that the patient feels important.

RSVerified patient

I've had the privilege of working with Smadar during a period of significant change in my life, and I can confidently say that her support has made a positive impact on my journey towards emotional well-being. She provided practical guidance as I navigated the challenges of moving to the city, marital challenges and difficult family situations. She offered insights to ease my anxieties, tools to improve communication, and a fresh perspective on conflicts and suggesting strategies for setting boundaries. I appreciated her nuanced approach, which empowered me to handle these challenges more confidently. One notable aspect of Smadar's practice is her flexibility with scheduling. This accommodating approach was reassuring, especially during unpredictable times, and showed her commitment to my well-being. Throughout our sessions, Smadar consistently showed her concern for my growth. Her support encouraged me to confront challenges and work towards positive changes.

KBVerified patient

I've been a patient of Smadar's for just about a year now, and I really enjoy our sessions - she seems to get me in ways that previous therapists haven't. She offers very poignant insight and advice; I look forward to many more conversations with her in the future!

GLVerified patient

Smadar is a an experienced, compassionate, thoughtful, and effective psychotherapist. My sessions with her have helped me gain new insights, which I have found very useful. I highly recommend her.

DBVerified patient

Smadar has been my therapist for the past year. Initially, I came to therapy to get help with my anxiety about finances and my relationship with my partner. Smadar helped me see how instead of choosing avoidance, I can confront my partner and express my needs. Not long after, I began seeing changes. I got married and while I still have days when I feel upset, I know that expressing my underlying needs connects me with my partner and helps resolves impasses. In addition, I learned how I let the part in me that catastrophizes, the scared child mode, take over. Instead, I now let my healthy mode take charge and regulate my feelings. I am grateful for the insight and guidance Smadar is giving me.

DGVerified patient

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Smadar as our couples therapist. Her direct and no-nonsense approach, combined with her expertise and empathy, has been invaluable in navigating the transition from husband and wife to new parents. With her guidance, our relationship has grown stronger, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and honest couples therapy!

EGVerified patient

Amazing always available when crisis appear! she is very good in understanding and supporting the problems that comes in mearrige life.will have always the right thing to do and say after listening to both sides.

DAVerified patient

Smadar was able to help me develop an understanding of the external factors that were the root cause(s) of my malady. She was patient, transparent, supportive and consistently so; over a period of years. She was exceptional at delivering her points through good analogies; and setting out / describing the current research, on specific topics. I unreservedly recommend Smadar.

MCVerified patient

I have been in sessions with Smadar for 5 years now. Smadar has a lot of knowledge. She is not generic. She shows genuine interest in how I feel and what I am going through. She listens and remembers details in a most impressive way. She is a good psychologist and while keeping boundaries clear, she makes me feel that I matter, One might say, like a friend. Her knowledge is vast. Even after so many sessions she still finds ways to surprise me. She uses Schema Therapy which I, through it, found ways to see myself and develop a better understanding of what I was going through. In other words, today I have a better relationship with myself. So yes. A very good psychologist.

GRVerified patient

Smadar is a great professional and takes her time in trying to get your appointment scheduled right away. I really enjoy working with her.

NCVerified patient

I think Smadar is very caring and understanding. She works with you on trying to understand yourself and realize ways to overcome your traumas. She's helping me see reality objectively which is helping me move on.

RDVerified patient

I was able to return to seeing Dr. Leiserowitz after 1-2 years change in insurance, and it’s amazing to me how she’s able to quickly identify patterns in different areas of life and help to gain better understanding of my responses. I’ve seen other therapists who have been helpful in terms of coping with stress or brainstorming solutions to stressors, but the understanding Dr. Leiserowitz had helped me gain has made the process of change much more comfortable and more automatic over time.

MEVerified patient

My visits with Dr. Leiserowitz have been pleasant and clarifying. Still have quite a long way to go, but I'm looking forward to continued sessions.

ZJVerified patient

I have been meeting with Dr.Leiserowitz for over a year. I suffer from PTSD and other chronic diseases. While Dr. Leiserowitz cannot reverse my chronic illnesses she has definitely been a great support in helping me cope with my day to day life. I'm eating better and I'm less afraid to travel to and from work. I'm not so sad as I was before. I feel more positive about my future. I feel there's a chance I can reverse some of the symptoms I have with her continued care. I truly treasure Dr. Leiserowitz's ongoing support and care. I don't think I would be at the place I am without her.

YJVerified patient

I have had sessions with Smadar for several years. I have significantly improved challenges in my life and looking forward to be able to fully transition into a better emotional state. Smadar is knowledgeable, she is non-judgmental, and honest. She is an expert in what she does and demonstrate that she care. Smadar is versatile and demonstrated cultural and diversity competency in helping me through my challenges. Flexibility in scheduling was also a plus. I highly recommend Smadar.

NPVerified patient

Smadar has helped me for many years. She changed my perspective on life. It is now moving towards healthier thinking. She was the only person in my corner until my GF. Now I have two. Thank you Smadar!

WBVerified patient

Smadar was my first therapist and helped me feel comfortable in asking for help. She was very supportive and helped me in ways that I cannot put in words. Thank you!

KSVerified patient

Smadar has helped me tremendously. Her insight and responsiveness creates an open atmosphere for me to effectively talk through and problem solve life’s issues. I like her active, dynamic approach and appreciate her willingness to follow a flexible schedule when scheduling sessions. Highly recommend Smadar’s services.

JGVerified patient

Found Smadar through the Psychology Today website. Initially went to her for marriage counseling, later came back to her for individual therapy and even recommended her to my mother went she was going through a difficult time. I found Smadar to be very WARM and EMPATHETIC, and also very perceptive. She is not one of those people who tells you that “you’re okay” and “everything’s going to be okay” — she was not afraid to drop some truth bombs that I didn’t want to hear but that turned out to be 100% on the money. Maybe of lesser importance, but she was also okay with doing telephone or Facetime sesions, which I found super convenient and timesaving (as I didn’t have to go to her office each time). Really, I have had great experiences with her and only have good things to say. Definitely would recommend.
