Dr. Lenard specializes in helping you process through your trauma so that you are able to accurately see it for what it is while gradually being released from its "charge." In that process, you will better be able to find peace in yourself and genuine intimacy in your relationships. She has worked with adults, children, adolescents, older adults, families, and groups to help them function with healthier balance.
Dr. Lenard is intrigued with the matter of the soul and the importance of resonance and goodness-of-fit in the journey of healing and ultimately of health, while using sound research-based methodologies.
Throughout her diverse career, Dr. Lenard has been committed to learning about the people around her and how they became who they are today, in this moment. That commitment has developed into deep empathy and desire to help her clients find peace so that they can reclaim their best, most authentic selves as well as finding compassion for those parts of themselves that they find most difficult.
