Leonard Szymczak (He/Him)

Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
 therapist: Leonard Szymczak,
Online in California
I believe that no one is broken. We have all learned strategies to survive as best we could. Therefore, we can learn new strategies and alter our lives so that we can thrive. As a psychotherapist, writer, and life coach, I have worked for the past 40 years in both Australia and America. I was a director of a Family Therapy Program in Sydney, Australia, and later worked with the Family Institute at Northwestern University. My belief is that the only thing that is wrong is what we've been taught to think and believe about ourselves that stop us from being our true selves. Therefore, my goal is to empower clients to be the hero or heroine to face adversity, overcome anxiety, and create empowering stories that lead to healthier relationships. I am the award-winning, bestselling author of 7 books including "The Roadmap Home: Your GPS to Inner Peace"; "Fighting for Love: Turn Conflict into Intimacy," coauthored with Mari Frank; and "Power Tools for Men: A BLueprint for Healthy Masculinity," coauthored with Rick Broniec.

Leonard Szymczak Practice Description
I provide individual and couple therapy. While I use a range of therapeutic modalities, I help clients reauthor their lives. Since they are the main characters in their story, I empower individuals to be the hero or heroine to face adversity, overcome anxiety, and transform their lives. In the process, we identify the scripts handed down by caregivers and work toward altering scripts, changing relationships, and creating empowered lives. I have also specialized in working with men for the past 35 years and bring that experience to help men improve their relationships.
