Getting to know James Leary

James works with individuals and couples, specializing in the psychodynamic treatment of eating disorders, addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety. Other specialties include helping individuals with disabilities navigate mental health, working with adoptees and adoptive families, exploring identity and embodiment with LGBTQ individuals, treating substance and alcohol misuse, exploring love and intimate relationships, and working with artists confronting issues around creativity and career. James’ patients come to therapy to confront personal suffering and explore significant questions about love, work, and what makes a satisfying and useful life. Together, they work toward improving one’s sense of agency, building the capacity for self-esteem, strengthening the ability to recognize and tolerate feelings, and enhancing vitality and creativity in work and relationships. By cultivating curiosity about the self, James believes individuals can become more aware of their disavowed parts, which, in turn, allows them to live more realistically, productively, and joyfully. His orientation is rooted in the belief that knowing oneself deeply and being honest with oneself is central to health. James received his MSW from Columbia University. He is a fellow at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy where he completed a postgraduate clinical training in eating disorders. He is trained in CBT and DBT modalities. He received a BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art, where he taught undergraduate studio artmaking for many years. His history in the arts has given him a unique lens for viewing the therapeutic process as collaborative, generative, and creative.
