Meet Leah Ullman, LCSW-S

I believe psychotherapy is the most powerful tool for human optimization – not just healing what's broken, but discovering what's possible. My own transformative therapy experience was a fascinating journey into my unconscious mind – one I recommend to everyone seeking authentic change and growth.

This personal insight, combined with my rigorous training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, allows me to guide others through their own profound discoveries.

I view psychotherapy as the tool with which a person can optimize their potential as a human being. The relationship with one's therapist is truly unique. You are provided with the opportunity to heal wounds, fresh and old, and to explore parts of yourself you may have known and lost and parts yet to be discovered. Through this special relationship one can develop healthier relationships with others, and more importantly, with themselves.

My Personal Journey

My own transformative therapy experience was an eye-opening, fascinating journey into my own unconscious – one I heartily recommend to everyone! This personal exploration taught me that the most profound healing happens when we understand not just what we're thinking and feeling, but why we think and feel the way we do.

That "why" lives in our unconscious mind – the part of ourselves that holds memories, emotions, and experiences we may not consciously recognize but that influence us every day.

My Approach

I utilize the time-honored principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy – a sophisticated, modernized evolution of Freud's psychoanalysis. Most people have no difficulty with their ability to think and process information. Difficulties arise when their unconscious desires and drives are at odds with their conscious beliefs about how they should behave.

By exploring these unconscious forces together, we can resolve the internal conflicts that create anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and that persistent feeling of being "stuck" despite your best efforts.

Why I Do This Work

There's nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone discover parts of themselves they never knew existed, or watching them break free from patterns that have held them back for years. When you understand the unconscious forces that have been driving your choices, you gain the power to make conscious decisions aligned with who you truly are and what you genuinely want.

This isn't just therapy – it's a journey of self-discovery that can transform every aspect of your life."

Transform your life from the inside out. Discover the unconscious patterns shaping your relationships and choices through psychodynamic therapy with Leah Ullman, LCSW-S.
