Lesa Rader-Giberson

There's a version of you that isn't constantly second-guessing, mentally exhausted, or quietly dreading the next thing. Therapy with me is about getting there — not just managing symptoms, but building a life that actually feels like yours. I work with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and overwhelm — many high-functioning on the outside while feeling stuck or stretched thin within. They've tried thinking harder. It doesn't work.

Using CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I help clients build emotional regulation, real insight, and practical tools for lasting change — in how they feel, relate to others, and lead their own lives. Collaborative and warm, but always intentional.

For children and teens, I offer a safe, structured space to untangle worry, build confidence, and develop emotional skills that will serve them for years. I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth in NY, CT, and NJ. Schedule a free 15-minute screening call — let's find out if working together is the right fit.

My practice is well-suited for individuals who are ready to move beyond coping—and toward meaningful, sustainable change. I specialize in helping clients become more high-functioning in their daily lives, relationships, and emotional well-being. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and perceptive—and many have experienced my ability to hold space, challenge thoughtfully, and guide the therapeutic process with clarity and intention.

Individualized treatments plans are designed to lead you to meeting your goals using your gifts and strengths.

I support my clients in learning how to respond to new and varied chapters in life while reducing feelings of anxiety.
