Leon Garber

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I help my clients understand how their beliefs (about themselves and others) affect their decisions and how their decisions affect their lives, while also exploring whether the beliefs are more so based on exaggerated fears stemming from past heartaches and trauma or realistic self-conceptions. Additionally, we work on reducing bad habits. This approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.
