Getting to know Dr. Omer Leshem

I believe that behind every effective treatment lies strong trust and mutual respect between a client and a therapist. As I get to know my clients and learn about their lives and concerns, it is important for me to establish a safe and supportive environment together. My collaborative approach is based predominantly on psychodynamic modalities and psychoanalytic theory. In other words, my goal in treatment is to help you introspect, make connections between the past and the present, and gain a wider perspective on your difficulties. My hope is that doing so will alleviate emotional pain and resolve inner conflicts. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and earned my bachelor's degree from The New School.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I aim to provide a warm and authentic stance that would help building trust and curiosity with my clients. ?My goal is to help them heal past wounds by fostering a holding and caring attitude that nurtures hope and connectedness. I intend to go beyond symptom alleviation in sessions and to support my clients in a manner that helps them achieve greater independence, freedom, and playfulness.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I typically provide long-term treatment that is open-ended and client-led. While my approach to treatment is explorative in nature, I often integrate structured and directive methods to help my patients regulate intense feelings and deepen their work. I realize that each therapeutic relationship is different and therefore I tailor my approach based on each client's individual needs. Together, we strive to develop deep self-understanding and find richer and more flexible narratives about their lived experiences.
