David Lerner, LMSW

David Lerner is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a graduate of Fordham University who believes therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation between two people. His approach is warm, steady, and collaborative, offering clients a safe space to slow down, make sense of what they're feeling, and figure out what they want to do next. Whether you're a child, teen, young adult, or adult, David meets you where you are and works at a pace that feels right for you.

David specializes in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, and the stress and burnout that so often come with the pressures of school, work, and everyday life. Together, you'll focus on processing emotions, building insight into the patterns shaping your experience, and developing practical coping skills you can actually use outside the therapy room. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring each session to your goals, personality, and what feels most helpful in the moment.

Working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, David brings a grounded, respectful presence to the room. He knows that reaching out for therapy takes courage, and he's committed to making that first step feel a little easier. His clients often describe him as approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in their growth.

If you're looking for steady support, practical tools, and a therapist who will walk alongside you with care and respect, David would be glad to hear from you.
