Dr. Leeron Nowak

Leeron Nowak. I am a postdoctoral psychologist with specialized training in evidence-based psychotherapy, couples therapy, and psychological assessment.

I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Family and Couples Therapy from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Los Angeles, and completed my pre-doctoral internship at the W.G. (Bill) Hefner Veterans Affairs Medical Center. I have also completed additional specialized training in health psychology and neuropsychology across medical, academic, and community settings.

I provide individual and couples therapy for adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My clinical work is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and authenticity. I work from a belief that meaningful change emerges from emotional insight and value-driven action, and I support my clients in finding ways to strengthen relationships and align with their values.

I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to help patients find answers for their symptoms and help create treatment plans.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I emphasize a person-centered approach where therapeutic intervention and treatment are highly individualized and informed by the client’s needs and preferences.

I look forward to working with you and making progress on your mental health goals.

Dr. Nowak works out of our McLean office.
