Therapy in Highland Park, Illinois Leah Hasdan, Therapy Clinician

Leah Hasdan, LSW, helps children, teens, and adults across Illinois build stability, insight, and practical coping skills to manage life’s challenges. She provides individual therapy tailored to each stage of life, supporting clients with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Leah creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where patients can safely explore their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Leah has a particular passion for working with individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She focuses on helping clients transition back into daily life with the support, structure, and skills needed to maintain progress and prevent relapse. Her approach emphasizes continuity of care, emotional stabilization, and building confidence as patients navigate recovery and reintegration. Her clinical work also includes treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, while supporting concerns such as behavioral challenges, life transitions, and family dynamics. Leah has experience working with diverse populations, including individuals involved in adoption or foster care, those on the autism spectrum, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She utilizes evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and offers additional therapeutic techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. Leah is fluent in Russian, allowing her to provide culturally responsive care to a broader range of individuals and families. Outside of her clinical work, Leah enjoys hiking, swimming, kayaking, dancing, reading, cooking, making art, and spending time with family and friends. These activities reflect her belief in creativity, connection, and balance as essential parts of mental health and well-being.
