Leila Bremer

Trained as a psychodynamic psychologist, Dr. Bremer believes that early experiences shape later expectations of oneself and relationships. Through therapy, she helps patients examine patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may have begun early in life and continue to generate unhappiness, with the goal of relieving depression and anxiety. Dr. Bremer integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques into treatment as necessary to address more circumscribed problems. Her approach is collaborative and supportive, helping patients develop deeper insight into their thoughts and feelings, and exercise more conscious control over their choices. This leads to a greater sense of agency and autonomy, as well as more satisfying interpersonal relationships.
