“She was fantastic, very sweet and made me feel like she genuinely cared. I felt very comfortable and she got me to open up very easily, which I definitely wasn't expecting in my first visit. I'll definitely be back.”
Yasmeen M.October 10, 2019
“I’ve never written a review here before but feel compelled to let the public know how amazing she was. Very professional but also compassionate and understanding. She quickly saw a pattern that I was blind to and helped me develop some practical ways of breaking the cycle. Very grateful to her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

I hadn't found the best fit yet and after the first visit, I'm confident she's phenomenal in her work.

October 10, 2019Yasmeen M.Verified patient
In discussing a recent breakup, the advice she gave was to go to couple's counseling, which felt strange because the relationship is already over? She recommended a friend of hers, which made me wonder if she was trying to help him out, rather than help me. I had also expressed wanting to write a letter to my ex, and she encouraged how it would be romantic and uninterrupted. In the end, all of her advice, even if it's well-intentioned, did not feel wise nor in my best interest. Instead I have maintained no-contact with my ex and feel like I am making more progress this way.

I’ve never written a review here before but feel compelled to let the public know how amazing she was. Very professional but also compassionate and understanding. She quickly saw a pattern that I was blind to and helped me develop some practical ways of breaking the cycle. Very grateful to her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Ive never felt so terrible in my life! She was so judgy about everyone I mentioned. Judged my family, my man, and i guess in a way me as well! Instead of trying to understand my story and give guidance, she asked about other things I didn’t go in for. And before fully understand my story, she just jump to conclusions and judge away. Made me fell abandoned by the love ones in my life and totally unworthy. I will never go back.

Lesya was kind and thoughtful. She has a lot of experience working with substance abuse and she was able to relate to what I was going through and pointed out some of my behaviors that I had never noticed again. I look forward to continue working with her.

It sounds dramatic but it’s true that my current status of happiness could never be achieved without her supports.
I have been suffering from depression and panic attack since I was a child (still but working on it). After a divorce years earlier, without any family in this country I had been dating hard to be with a kind partner but it has been awfully depressing and lonely. She was always with me listening to each episode open heartedly and suggested many approaches which are totally opposite to what mainstream relationship advice had been teaching me. If she was not listening or talking to me when I met my current partner I am totally sure that we didn’t work out as we happily do now. Another thing I love about her is her great insight into film, literature, and of course psychological studies. She would discuss with you honestly about these topics if you would like. I am so grateful that I’ve ever found her as my therapist.

She had some very strange Freudian theories that seemed out of date. She offered some bizarre interpretations of my earliest childhood years (0-2), specifically how long I was breastfeeding, which seemed unhelpful, speculative, and borderline offensive.
December 31, 2017Daniel B.Verified patient
I personally didn’t like the experience with Lesya. I felt like she jumped into judgement too quickly without me fully explaining the situation. It took a lot for me to go to a psychotherapist, it was my first time trying to talk to someone and really hoped for a person that would be easy on me, more understanding and warm. Instead I left feeling bad about myself.

Lesya Hardy is an exceptional practitioner. She is efficient, effective, warm, funny, direct, and extremely knowledgeable! She uses session time wisely and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to psychological inquiry. Not only does she delve deep, but she also takes a birdseye view and examines every facet of an issue.
It’s clear she stays up to date on her research and seems to be a human encyclopedia of psychological expertise. The best takeaway, though, is the training she equips you with to be able to assess and resolve your own problems when you’re out in the world and can’t ask her for guidance in real time. She does this without expressly trying. It just happens!
I have been seeing her for almost a year now, and I always feel better afterwards. Every time. Best therapist I have had.

Lesya is so kind and i felt so comfortable with her from the first appointment which has always been so hard for me with therapy. I am so happy I found her!

I was having a really bad time and needed someone to speak with right away. She was available and very easy to talk to. She listened, gave me feedback (which was what I really needed - someone to hear me) and I felt a huge weight was released.
I would see her again.
June 11, 2017Alma O.Verified patient
She is so insightful and immensely helpful.
April 13, 2017Katelyn K.Verified patient
She was attentive, kind and intuitive.
September 2, 2016Elizabeth G.Verified patient
Lesya was one of the most insightful therapists I've ever encountered. Instead of ASKING me why I'm feeling a certain way (I'm always like, "I don't know, that's the problem!"), she brilliantly analyzes my thought processes in order to TELL me why I'm feeling a certain way. It's immensely helpful in displacing blame from myself which is one of my biggest issues. I'd recommend her to anyone with feelings of anxiety or depression in a heartbeat.

Lesya was quick to get us going wasted no time actually started early and gave me a bit more time.She was attentive and gave me feed back and right to the point. Which I like. Very Professional and also added some good humor into the mix. For the first meeting with her. I left feeling good and a few things to think about. I will be going back next week .
April 23, 2016Michael P.Verified patient
Very good listener and very warm
May 20, 2016Krystal M.Verified patient
she was clearly not understanding at all, while there she said many things that a professional should not say, like suggesting that as a gay woman I should not have come out to my family and should've hid for the rest of my life. she had an attitude and even called me crazy at one point because I did not know what I sould do to deal with the situation I am in.
she honestly should not have a license to "help" anyone.
April 28, 2016Leydi L.Verified patient
This was the first time I ever visited a therapist and wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Hardy was very nice and understanding of me and I felt at ease speaking with her.
More than 1 year agoJustin C.Verified patient
Dr. Hardy was kind, understanding and caring. She is open minded and could understand my issues despite the fact that I am from a different culture. She took the time to talk about everything I wanted to and I felt that so much was resolved in my first meeting itself. I look forward to more sessions with her.

she was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable. she's very aware of the issues and talks to you through the issues which helped out a lot!

She new exactly what my problem was within a very short period of time. Others weren't able to pinpoint it in the past. Knowing what the problem is is the first step in solving it.
March 12, 2016Daniel S.Verified patient
Lesya is kind, professional, and non judgmental. I've seen her for a few years now and she been integral in my journey of self growth. She provides a safe, reliable space to face oneself and ultimately find compassion and understanding. This is such important work, and I am so grateful to have found Lesya to go on and help guide me through it.

The weekly sessions allow me to have a place, while I feel safe, protected, understood & not being juged. It is great to have objective professional feedbacks about life dilemma that I go through. Lesya has been my therapist in the last 6 years, and I feel very fortunated to have her guidense so far.

Lesya has been my therapist for the past six years, and I'm super lucky to have found her. She gives excellent, insightful feedback and isn't afraid to push you when necessary. She's been there for me in times of crisis and successfully navigated me back to health. She's super intelligent, funny, and a great find.
