Postdoctoral Fellow/Resident

Lenia (she/her) received her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Fordham University - Lincoln Center Campus in NYC. She earned her M.A. in Counseling Education and M.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University in New York. She completed her doctoral internship at UC Berkeley CAPS.

Lenia’s clinical style is rooted in relational-psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and person-centered therapies. While working from these approaches, Lenia seeks to embed her work with clients in a multicultural framework, exploring the ways social context, personal history, and intersecting identities impact clients’ experiences in the world. As a counselor, Lenia aspires to co-create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space with clients to explore various mental health challenges/concerns and develop helpful ways of coping and new ways of relating with self and others. Incorporating a holistic and collaborative approach, Lenia also strives to help individuals take control of their narrative and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

Outside of work, Lenia enjoys having quality friends and family time, traveling for food, watching an entire series over the span of a weekend, doing yoga or Pilates, or enjoying the beach time!
