Getting to know Michele Leader

I’m Michele Leader, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Temple University. My time at Temple allowed me to develop a deep understanding of social and mental health challenges, shaping the compassionate and evidence-based approach I bring to my work. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of providing therapy, counseling, and advocacy for individuals facing life’s difficulties. My goal has always been to create a supportive environment where my clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. As an entrepreneur, I founded and currently manage my own social work practice, offering personalized, research-backed interventions tailored to each individual’s needs. I believe in the transformative power of mental health support, and I am committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve. Compassion and effectiveness are at the core of my practice. Whether in clinical settings or through my business, I strive to foster positive change in my community, helping individuals navigate challenges and build fulfilling lives. I’d love the opportunity to connect with you and support your journey!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
