Individual Psychotherapy and Couples Counseling

Leslie Fabian is an ‘R’ Licensed NYS Clinical Social Worker with over 28 years of private practice experience in psychotherapy and counseling. She works with couples and adult individuals, providing an insightful and interactive approach to healing and change.
Leslie helps people with anxiety and depression, relationship, parenting, and career
issues, with sexuality and gender issues, as well as substance abuse and dependence.
Couples counseling is a direct, interactive approach wherein couples (married or unmarried, straight, same sex,queer) have an opportunity to learn about the forces that work to sabotage intimacy and commitment. Focus is on clarification and resolution of previous difficulties, learning healthy communication skills, understanding one's own and partner’s needs, and learning to turn paralyzing resentment into positive action.
Individual counseling combines several different dynamic approaches to help people understand the patterns that
guide their lives and make the conscious changes needed to realize their goals. Leslie provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment to work through past
and present obstacles that detour people on their paths toward more fulfilling lives.

Leslie holds a Masters of Social Work from The Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University, and a bachelors degree with honors from The University at Albany.
She has studied at The Greenwich Institute, and trained at The Fifth Avenue Center for Counseling and Psychotherapy. She has been in private practice in Greenwich Village 1994 -2015. She was an independent psychotherapist at The Lighthouse Wellness Center in Croton on Hudson, NY. She now practices independently in the tranquil beauty of the Hudson Valley in Croton on Hudson. Leslie has been a contributing columnist on relationships for Moms Offer More and relationships and sexuality for More Sugar. Please see "Articles".
