Leena El-Gammal is a student at the Columbia School of Social Work and MSW intern. Growing up as a daughter of immigrants in diaspora, she has experienced firsthand the stigma and lack of cultural understanding that often prevent individuals in immigrant communities from seeking mental health care. Her background has fueled a deep commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by these communities, including discrimination, acculturation stress, language barriers, and a lack of culturally literate therapy.

Living with complex trauma or a personality disorder can affect how you see yourself, manage intense emotions and connect with others. You may feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by shame or fear, or unsure which parts of yourself you can trust. I work with adults and couples who want to understand how these patterns developed, build a more stable sense of self and create relationships that feel safer and more fulfilling.

I work with people healing from trauma, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions, relationship and communication issues, anxiety, and depression. They might experience unresolved grief, unhelpful defense mechanisms, unhealthy attachments, or struggle to feel at home in their own skin. I emphasize improving relationships with yourself and others so you can move toward self-love, acceptance, and growth. Yes, we all struggle. Just because “it could be worse” doesn’t make your experience less valid or worthy of support.

It is in the depths of our psyche where fear and longing reside. We use tricks and masks to defend against knowing ourselves and yet yearn to be known, long to be recognized. The journey to discovery consists not only in what we say about ourselves but how we are listened to. It is in this unique place of psychoanalysis where the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious meet. Once we start to listen to the stories we tell about ourselves, and are heard, the mind is opened to a more expansive self and healing can begin.

A clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst for over thirty years, I am devoted to helping adolescents and adults overcome whatever stands in the way of a successful and satisfying life.
My extensive experience working with all age groups has given me a broader perspective than most. People come to me with wide range of symptoms including anxiety, depression, loneliness and a sense of being "stuck" in general. We then work collaboratively to create a plan that is suited to your unique needs and that enables you to reach your specific goals.

I work with adults, couples, and families — including teens — who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and the quieter struggles that don't always have a name.
Something isn't working — and you're not sure why.
Maybe you've been anxious for so long it feels like there’s no way out of it. Maybe you're going through the motions at work, in your relationship, in your day to day, and your sense of estrangement or unhappiness just keeps growing. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it helped, a little, but something still feels unresolved — like you've talked about the symptoms without ever really grappling with the larger issues underneath.
You're not alone. And you're not broken. But you might be ready for something different.

I work with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults, especially those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, OCD, executive-functioning challenges, or questions about identity.
I’m easy going, laid back, and supportive, and I want therapy to feel like a real conversation. I’ll meet you where you are, adapt to what you need that day, and offer practical tools without losing sight of the bigger picture. Outside therapy, I enjoy playing guitar and spending time outdoors, and I bring that same relaxed, open energy into our sessions.
