Bryan Leach, LCSW
There is something you want to change.
You may have specific thoughts on what that is, or perhaps it’s a general sense of dissatisfaction that you don’t quite understand. It could be you’ve found ways to keep these feelings temporarily at bay so you can get through your day, or they may be coming to the forefront as historical coping mechanisms cease to serve you as well as they once did.
Regardless of where you are on your journey, you’ve reached a point where you feel that therapy may assist you in finding a better path forward. I am here to offer that support.
My Approach
I approach therapy from a psychodynamic perspective, focusing on the impact of internal processes, relationships with others, and sense of self on the way we process and engage with the world around us. Therapy provides a venue in which to gain insight into our ways of operating and better understand how they contribute to or detract from our sense of wellbeing, and the therapeutic relationship serves as a staging ground to explore new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
​
​
I believe empathy and respect are the foundation of successful therapeutic work, and I seek to create a safe, supportive environment in which to assist clients in working toward achieving their treatment goals. I have worked with individuals across a range of ages, ethnicities, cultures, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, and physical abilities. I believe that each individual is unique, and as such, my approach to treatment is specific to the needs of each client.
About
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with years of experience working with clients across a range of populations facing a variety of presenting problems.
​
I earned a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the post-graduate training program at The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (MITPP). Prior to this, I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Fordham University.
My clinical training while at MITPP consisted of long-term therapy with adult clients at The Metropolitan Center for Mental Health (MCMH). During my time at Fordham, I gained clinical experience through field placements at The Brooklyn Hospital Center and Samaritan Daytop Village, a residential substance use treatment facility catering to veterans.
​
In addition to my clinical experience, my practice is informed by years of professional experience in both corporate (digital marketing, investment banking) and creative (theatre) environments.​
