About
Hello and a warm welcome to Find A Therapist. My name is Leslie Feder and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses to practice in DC, MD, and VA. I have spent over 40 years practicing social work and psychotherapy. In 1980 I earned my master’s in social work from Boston University School of Social Work. I bring a wealth of experience having worked in a wide variety of settings including a prison, foster care agency, psychiatric ward (prior to masters) and family counseling agencies, employee assistance programs (both private and military) and finally Kaiser Permanente. I have worked as a Parenting Consultant in homes, taught parenting, and couples’ communications classes, done face to face counseling, but also video/ telephonic counseling and online chat.
I have specialized training in family systems, grief counseling, couple’s communication, conflict resolution, life coaching and parenting.
My approach is client-centered, goal-oriented, and strength-based. I utilize ideas and approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. As appropriate, I recommend helpful books, movies, music, and resources to my clients.
I love to help clients identify and reach personal goals, understand themselves and others better and facilitate the resolution of problems. I enjoy helping clients improve the quality of their relationships through exploring feelings, options, and better alternatives.
In counseling we develop a collaborative relationship that provides safety and unique opportunities for profound learning and personal growth. I would love to work with you.
