Mr Leo Newman

Psychotherapist

“A Licensed Professional Counselor offering psychotherapy to individuals who are experiencing stress, trauma, and chronic health challenges.”

About Me

I offer psychotherapy to individuals navigating stress, chronic health challenges, and medical trauma. My goal is to create a supportive space. Here, we can explore difficult feelings and develop practical ways to manage your experiences. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand how these issues impact daily life. We can work together to find clarity. Together, we build resilience for a more settled future.

Approach

When stress, trauma, or chronic illness presses on daily life, I prioritize a predictable, humane rhythm that balances focused processing with small, doable practices. In Travelers Rest or in online sessions conducted in English, we work at a pace that respects energy limits and builds steadiness between meetings through brief, practical exercises and check-ins. Sessions feel collaborative and grounded—clear aims, gentle tracking, and moments to pause and reflect. People managing long-term health or persistent stress often find this steady, practical approach helpful.
