Leah Matyas, LMHC's experience working with the Jewish community

My professional journey within the Jewish community has been both diverse and enriching. In my private practice, I have skillfully tailored therapeutic approaches to individuals from diverse backgrounds, carefully navigating and incorporating unique cultural considerations. As a mental health consultant for Head Start, I provided culturally sensitive support to families, with a special emphasis on addressing the developmental needs of young children.

I consistently strive to foster open communication and build trusting relationships, recognizing the importance of these elements in facilitating positive and meaningful outcomes in the therapeutic process.
