Andrew Leonard is a compassionate, careful, and attentive therapist. His questions help guide - but not control - the process of discovery and insight. His demeanor is balanced, courteous and engaging. Definitely a great therapist for my age demographic (I'm 66)

Straight talk here...I am a person who needs to talk my issues out. Generally to exhaustion! Leonard listens. Chimes in and often keeps me on track. This is healing for me...he is perfect

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great person. Very down to earth and humble

Reviewed August 2023

It being my first time seeing a therapist, I was somewhat nervous of what to expect. However, it was so easy to talk to Andrew. Great listening skills, insightful feedback, and the questions he asks prompt much needed self-reflection. I ended every session feeling a a sense of relief and could breathe much easier. Thankful to have been matched with him.
