Leena Prakhina, ma
Are you looking for a therapist who really connects with children and teens —someone who’s kind and truly passionate about helping young people thrive? I’m Leena Prakhina, and I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and social struggles. Whether your child is coping with anxiety, struggling with school demands, or needing help with emotional regulation, I bring a warm, supportive, and developmentally informed approach to every session.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Behavioral Assistant and Social-Emotional Learning Instructor, helping young clients build emotional insight, communication tools, and resilience.
While my primary focus is on children and adolescents, I also enjoy working with adults who are seeking growth, clarity, or support through challenging times. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and centered on your goals, whether you're looking for structure, insight, or simply someone to talk to who genuinely listens.
I am currently under the supervision of Dr. Erica Geraci, Licensed Clinical Psychologist (NJ License #35SI00662700), while I pursue full licensure as a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC).
