Sasha Diamond-Lenow, LCSW
​​
"I approach therapy from a holistic, person-centered framework, grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and whole. I work with adolescents, emerging adults, parents, families, and couples, particularly those navigating life transitions and relationship challenges. With over 18 years of experience, I specialize in bipolar disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, social and relational dynamics, identity development, and the challenges of “launching” into adulthood. My work is collaborative, individualized, and responsive, centering each client’s lived experience while supporting insight, stability. I integrate talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic-based practices and skills drawn from evidence-based approaches, including AF-EMDR, DBT, CBT, and insight-oriented psychodynamic therapy. This integrative style allows treatment to be flexible, responsive, and tailored to each client’s needs.
​
I operate within social justice and anti-oppression frameworks and aim to be held accountable to the clients and communities I serve through open feedback, alliance, and reflection. My work is LGBTQIA-affirming and grounded in creating a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, respected, and safe in all aspects of their identity".

"I have been working with Sasha for the better part of this year and it has been a wonderful experience. Meeting with her weekly has helped me tremendously. She also stays connected with my family which is very important to me. Sasha gives great advice and input and always ends the sessions with goals so I always have something to work towards. I definitely recommend her services to anyone that is struggling to find that right therapist."
