I've been going to Barbara for about a year and a half now. As a therapist, Barbara really balances the firm guiding hand with the gentle, non-judgmental, listening ear. I've had to do a lot of work around knowing my own self-worth and advocating for myself, and she has been both patient and strong in disrupting my patterns of self-loathing and non-confrontation. She is reliable, stable, and always greets you with a smile. I've found Barbara to be particularly helpful as someone who had a lot of trepidation about pursuing therapy again after some really harmful experiences.

I have been with Barbara for quite some time and have nothing but great things to say. She has been tremendous and solution-oriented, empathetic and thought-provoking, and I have seen the affects of the work we do together, every day. I look forward to each appointment and appreciate her timely communication and responsiveness as well.

More about Barbara Leese, LCSW
I am based in Lower Manhattan and the Upper West Side. I see patients in my private practice in both locations. I received my master’s degree in social work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I have my certificate in EMDR from the EMDR Institute and my SIFI from NYU Silver School of Social Work.
I work with my clients to focus on the areas in their lives that feel unbalanced or are not working well, so that they can live life with more self-awareness, clarity and confidence. The goal is to better manage work and school stress; improve relationships; find relief from anxiety and depression; overcome eating issues and other self-destructive ways, and unblock creativity, in a therapeutic environment that is warm and supportive.
We will embark together, to help you bring more of what you want and need into your life. Whether dealing with seemingly insurmountable problems, shifting moods, changing relationships, career problems or confronting lifelong obstacles, we will work together to make the changes you want and improve your quality of life.
My background in the arts and business enables me to be attuned to the problems and needs of both the creative person and the pressures of the workplace. Interpersonal issues at work or school, career transition planning, or blocks in creativity are areas where therapy may be useful and empowering.

I remember the first time I met Barbara. I came to her because I was at a very low point in my life. I was in an abusive relationship for many years, and as much as I tried to end it, I didn't know how. I was a person who wanted to get an education and to do many different things in life, and I needed guidance. I could honestly say, that if it wasn't for the work I did with Barbara, I wouldn't be where I am today. She helped me see the root of the problem. And after working with her, I was able to leave that relationship. I was going to school at the time, and I was facing many challenges, there were many times where I felt like quitting, but thankfully, Barbara kept pushing me. Today I could say that I finished my Bachelors, and I am enrolled in a Masters program. I could tell you that I have accomplished things in my life that I used to dream of. I have traveled, and I am now in a healthy relationship. If there are any areas in your life where you need help and guidance, I would recommend you see Barbara. I wouldn't be where I am at in my life if it wasn't for her help.
