I would wholeheartedly recommend Leah Ullman to anyone who is "ready and willing to do the work." Leah has a unique and powerful approach to psychotherapy. She creates space for her patients to speak freely, allowing thoughts and feelings to surface naturally. In that process, the real issues will emerge. I came to her ready to do the work, and they did for me.
I began therapy with Leah in October 2022, shortly after being furloughed from my employer of eight years and just before turning 71. At that time, I didn't even know what I was most angry about. Through my work with Leah, I discovered something unexpected: my anger wasn't rooted in my recent circumstances at all. Instead, it traced back decades to a deeply ingrained, family-based anger quietly passed down from one generation to the next.
Recognizing this was like a true awakening. I could suddenly see those same patterns in my parents, siblings, nieces, and others. More importantly, I began to notice how my own unrecognized anger would flare up over small, everyday frustrations, affecting the very people I cared about most. With Leah's guidance, I learned to acknowledge and reframe that anger, placing it in its proper perspective instead of letting it control me. Over time, the issues have been left where they belonged... in the past!
Leah is one of the warmest, kindest, and most honest people I know. She listens deeply, but she also names what she sees with refreshing honesty. She is sensitive to her patients' feelings, but she doesn't shy away from the truths that lead to real breakthroughs. That balance is what makes her work so effective.
Because of my nearly three years with Leah, my relationships and personal life are significantly better. For anyone truly committed to personal growth and healing, I cannot recommend her enough. read more
