Perspectives Counseling of LI was founded by Abby Leefer, LCSW-R, a seasoned clinician with decades of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. Abby earned her master’s degree from Stony Brook University and has built a practice grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client’s unique story.
At Perspectives Counseling of LI, we believe that no two people experience life in exactly the same way, and therefore, no two people need the same approach to healing. Every therapist in our practice shares Abby’s client-centered philosophy, tailoring treatment to meet each person’s specific needs, goals, and strengths.
Our therapists draw from a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoanalytic theory, family systems work, and Rogerian-based humanistic therapy. This integrative and flexible approach allows us to meet you where you are, whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or personal growth.
We’re deeply committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. Our goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen self-acceptance, and make meaningful changes in your life, while also finding peace with the things you cannot control.
Founded during a time of significant change and uncertainty, Perspectives Counseling of LI was created to make high-quality, accessible, and compassionate mental health care available to more individuals across Long Island and beyond. Abby and her team are dedicated to supporting clients through every stage of life with empathy, professionalism, and hope.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, growth, and greater well-being, Perspectives Counseling of LI is here to help.
