Drew Friedman, MSW, LISW
Child and Young Adult Mental Health Therapist (7-25)
Healing children, adolescents, and young adults is the focus of my practice. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that helps kids grow and adapt to change. My practice focuses on aiding children and emerging adults in developing skills to adapt to change, process stressful life events, and increase functioning in daily life.
I provide services to children and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, adjustment disorders, and school-related stressors. I primarily use evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) modalities in my practice, as well as non-traditional therapies involving art and play. All care I provide is trauma-informed. I have a Masters in Social Work, am clinically licensed, and have a trauma-informed practice certificate. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based.
Children and emerging adults deserve to have every opportunity to reach their full potential, and I look forward to working with your child to help address and remove their barriers to success.

Gabriela Leskur, MSSA, LSW
Emerging Adult Mental Health Therapist (17 - 30)
Growth occurs in spaces where we feel safe to be our authentic selves. First and foremost, I co-create with my clients in an environment that honors their lived experiences and identities. From there, we embark on a collaborative journey to foster strengths, tend to impactful past experiences, and create a toolbox of strategies to overcome challenges and support their individual goals.
I specialize in providing trauma-informed care to emerging adults using a multicultural, humanistic approach. I employ elements of narrative therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and existential therapy depending on client needs. My clients come to therapy for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, LGBTQIA+ issues, surviving abuse, healing after trauma, and more.
If this sounds like the space you’re looking for, I look forward to creating it with you.
