Leigh Ann S. Tedesco, LCSW

There is no greater gift to ourselves in our relationships than healing our trauma. By doing so, we break bonds that have been passed down through families and have impacted our current relationships. This work can be very daunting, I get that. I've been successful in supporting individuals to make changes in their lives for the past two decades. With a unique sense of strength and compassion, and through a multicultural lens, I have helped a variety of individuals reach their goals to live a more healthy and productive life and to have more meaningful relationships. I have been practicing in Montclair, NJ for the past 25 years and have an extensive background in treating depression, women's issues, life transitions, work stress, grief, loss, and healing from the bonds of intragenerational trauma. I practice both cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic and trauma informed therapy. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey for the past 28 years. I received my masters degree in Social Work from New York University and my undergraduate degree from Wagner College in Sociology with a focus on family studies. I've trained at the Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy of New Jersey. Additionally, I have given various presentations on stress, depression, and trauma. If you are ready to begin your journey, I am here to help.
