Dr. Leyla Welkin, LMHC

Horrible. I am still trying to figure out if she's just that bad at counseling, or if she was intentionally trying to sabotage my marriage to ensure herself job security. Either way, I wasted a lot of time and money with her.

I experienced Leyla as an attuned, compassionate, and skillful therapist who focuses on your self-determined goals. She has an attentive, non-judgemental, and gentle presence that makes you feel understood and cared for. I gained the ability to cope with feelings of depression and anxiety, and was able to work through issues that I had been struggling with for years. It was not an easy process, and her guidance was invaluable. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Coordinating a consistent schedule was tough. My partner &I were in the midst of severe conflict. We needed (& expressed a desire) for consistent counseling w/ no more than 5 days between sessions. It ended up more about every 10 days (or more as she travels a lot). The exercises given to us as 'homework' seemed to be too much, too fast, with too long of a delay between sessions. Neither my partner nor I felt 'heard' (by eachother, nor her). Reasonable insight but wasn't a fit nor effective
