Becca Leitman Psychotherapy

About

I became a therapist because I am passionate about caring for and advocating on behalf of people. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), with more than ten years of experience working with children and families, often connected to adoption and foster care systems. As an adoptee in a family with both biological and adopted children, working with clients in the adoption field has given me the chance to share my own story and use my personal understanding of these complex family dynamics/systems and unique emotional experiences.

I offer individualized and family counseling services from a relational psychotherapeutic approach. The relational part means I take into account the importance of social dynamics, culture, and close relationships on any individual’s well being, and the psychotherapeutic part is indicative of a holistic approach that can involve methods from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, or psychoanalytic traditions. My treatment is deeply rooted in attachment, which underscores the importance of our relationships and acknowledges that the attachments formed early on in life through our environments have a lasting impression on our sense of self, our well-being, and our relationships.

As an integrated clinician, I have utilized creative arts therapies in assisting clients to work through some of their frustrations and challenges. I’m open to finding forms of communication that work well for clients, which is unique to you. These times have brought challenges, though with every challenge comes growth and a new beginning. I look forward to meeting you on whatever path you find yourself on and walking ahead together.
