Great to meet you!

Leora Golan, MSW, LCSW, C-DBT serves as a dedicated mental health professional with a Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University of Chicago, specializing in mental health. She completed her undergraduate studies at Stockton University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Social Work with a minor in Childhood Studies.

My approach to therapy

Leora is committed to providing compassionate and personalized care that empowers clients at every stage of their journey. Whether working with children, adults, or families, she focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance and fostering resilience through evidence-based approaches.

By offering individualized strategies, trauma-informed guidance, and a safe, collaborative environment, Leora helps clients develop the tools and confidence they need to navigate challenges and achieve their therapeutic goals.

What you can expect from me

During sessions, Leora focuses on understanding each client’s concerns and goals while creating a collaborative plan tailored to their needs. In the first meeting, she reviews what brings the client to therapy, explores their background, and examines the challenges they are experiencing.

This initial session is designed to give clients a clear sense of Leora’s therapeutic approach and establish a safe, supportive environment where they feel heard and understood. Together, she and the client set achievable goals and begin working toward meaningful change.
