Leanna Lee-Sydnor

Leanna Lee-Sydnor is a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in working with high-achievers who are great at what they do—whether that’s running a business, excelling in school, or building a career—but who sometimes struggle with burnout, feeling disconnected in relationships, or questioning their sense of self beyond their achievements. Currently serving New York and Connecticut, Leanna provides a therapeutic space free from expectations and judgment, where clients can step away from external pressures, explore the parts of themselves they’ve had to push aside, and redefine success in a way that makes room for fulfillment, connection, and self-trust.
