About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy.

I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. Its like dating, you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you.

How I can Help: I build resilience in clients by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression life's ups and downs, be it learning to be kinder to yourself, getting more comfortable with vulnerability or learning to mange feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct.

I welcome your mess, we can look through the piles together and see if we can't come out with some gold.

Warmly,

Lenka Schroeder, LMFT
