Getting to know Adara Leckie
I'm a counselor just beginning my practice with adults, here to offer a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's from SUNY Brockport. With a background in social work and experience as a victim advocate for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, I bring a strong sense of advocacy into my work as a clinical mental health counselor. My approach is client-centered and eclectic; I draw from CBT to provide practical skills for daily challenges and psychodynamic techniques to explore how past experiences might shape what's happening now.
My specialties include helping clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, abuse, trauma, and PTSD, along with developing coping skills like mindfulness and meditation. You can expect a compassionate, culturally sensitive, goal-oriented, and strengths-based experience with me in the session. As a Black woman, I strive to offer safety and kindness to everyone I come across, especially other women of color and minorities.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe deeply in creating a safe, supportive environment where you can share openly and feel validated at every step. I’m working toward EMDR certification to expand how I can support you, especially if past traumas are affecting your life. Unconditional positive regard is at the core of my practice; my goal is for you to feel respected and cared for without judgment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I tend to work best with clients who are open-minded, reflective, and open to deep processing but are also ready to put in the work to move forward and make meaningful progress. Your journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to help you navigate it in a way that feels empowering, whether that’s unpacking complex emotions, addressing anxieties, or exploring new ways to cope and heal.

Adara was very compassionate! We talked about what I wanted to work on and she said she would follow up with resources. A few days later, she proceeded to send me an email with very helpful information!

Her voice is very calming and brings you back to center. She is a great listener and she uses tools to make you see past your own frustrations. Look forward to more sessions.
