Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

From the first session with Leonard, I felt empowered to make the changes I wanted. His approach to better understand behavior and equip me with the tools to personally change were of the greatest asset. By providing clear analogies for me to better understand the learning, I was able to see that with the tools and the commitment to do the work, I am able to work towards the goals I have set.

Working with Leonard has been life changing. His practices and insight has not only helped further myself along, I have been able to find Clarity. He is constantly motivating while understanding how to change the pattern. He has really been a wonderful help, and I would highly recommend him.

Leonard helped me through a difficult period in my life when I really had given up all hope of being happy again. His human way of connecting and resolving problems through task setting was the best way to get me back on the road to recovery. I would definitely recommend Leonard.

Unlikely previous therapist I've worked with, Leonard was entirely focussed on helping me create sustainable solution to the issues I was working on. Very solution focussed and effective.

Dr. Citron is a consummate professional with a wealth of knowledge and armed with a plethora of helpful resources ranging from podcasts to books. Though he never takes notes, he is an active listener and always remembers everything I tell him. I love our sessions because he always asks thought-provoking questions and offers well thought out advice. He possesses the kind of roll-up-your-shelves, get-to-work attitude that makes you want to become the best possible version of yourself, right away

I came to Leonard frustrated that I had to repeat my past to yet another therapist. What I found was the opposite experience — Leonard educates so that eventually a weekly therapist isn’t necessary — he sends you off into the world with a new language to manage situations as they are happening to you. He is funny, smart, personable, and possesses an almost preterhuman memory, but first, foremost and everything: Leonard Citron is the most successful psychotherapist I have encountered.

Leonard is amazing. I've been to therapists who employ a "sit, stare, listen, time" approach & hated the experience. NOT Leonard. He's a true partner in care. He asks the right Qs to help me arrive at solutions or at the very least new questions, all in the pursuit of more peace with my life. He is nonjudgmental, caring, and remembers what I share so each session builds off the last. He also offers outside resources, like books/podcasts which I used. I have so much more joy now. 10mo & done.

I spent over two years working with Leonard, and have nothing but praise for him. Leonard will inspire you to be the better person you know you want to be, but can't seem to figure out how, and then he will help you take the steps to actually becoming that person. I have seen many mental health professionals in my life, and Leonard is by far the most effective. He is caring, smart, and maintains excellent boundaries, all of which come together to make a meaningful impact that I will never forget

Professional, thoughtful, insightful, helpful, articulate, encouraging, empathetic. Leonard ticks all of the boxes. It's not easy finding a therapist one can truly connect with, but after just one session I felt as if Leonard knew me better than I knew myself. He clearly indicates his goal is to help you help yourself, and his therapy style helps you develop your own strategies for long term independent solutions. You wont regret working with him, it's literally potentially life changing.
