Client Testimonial
“I was suffering from severe depression and OCD, and had a co-occurring substance use disorder. My entire life was dysfunctional and I was barely able to leave the house. Through intense psychotherapy sessions with Dr. Leone, we were able to address underlying issues in my life… Dr. Leone challenged me to look at my thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. He gave me the ability to live according to my true nature. It took several years and some painful reflection concerning very personal issues, but in the end Dr. Leone helped relieve my suffering. I am no longer depressed, and my OCD is manageable. In addition, I actually have a full time job working in a field helping others who are facing similar problems. If you want to transform yourself and in the end help yourself, I would highly recommend Dr. Leone.”
