Lea enjoys using tools, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and personality type and the Enneagram to help individuals understand their personality and inner workings, helping families to develop and implement no-fault communication patterns, and supporting individuals as they recover from traumatic bullying experiences. Lea’s approach to therapy blends narrative techniques with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) concepts. You may contact Lea at admin@hmpsychology.com.
