Meet Leisa

Leisa Walker-Akinrolabu, LCSW

I am dedicated to supporting the wellness of individuals and families. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with over 15 years of experience. My specialization includes work in the areas of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, trauma, and crisis intervention. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other scientifically proven treatment strategies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

I work closely with patients experiencing symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment, and Co-occurring disorders. I have vast experience assisting clients with stress management, work-life balance, parenting issues, grief, and loss.

I believe…

• All people have the power to change

• Children are more resilient than many adults believe

• Healthy relationships sustain life

• There is nothing more satisfying than reaching a goal
