Lenah Hanno MHC-LP (Commack Unit D)
I am committed to helping people who want and desire help. Therapy is the first step into self-awareness and growth development. My ultimate goal when counseling is to create a healing and safe space for my client.I grew up in a Middle Eastern Muslim family. This has helped me gain a sense of familial and cultural dynamics and how to navigate two different worlds. I am a strong advocate of immigration. My work experience consists of working with adults with mental disabilities and youth. My life and work experience helped me gain an understanding of the importance of being judgement free and accepting with anyone.I am currently a student at Long Island University pursuing a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. I am a strong mental health advocate and always looking for new ways to contribute to the field. I’m constantly learning and finding new ways to improve the therapy experience for all.

Diana Leonardi MHC-LP (Commack Unit D/Syosset)
Hello! My name is Diana, and I am a Mental Health Counselor- LP.
When working with clients it is important to understand that each client is unique, and each client has their own story and their own journey. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My therapeutic approach is to meet you where you're at, work together to determine what best meets your needs, and to collaboratively create a plan that helps you achieve your goals. I will strive to create an environment that encourages you to explore & understand your thoughts and feelings. I also help individuals understand their personal journey and assist in developing tools for rediscovering one's strengths & fostering growth. We'll work on how to learn and unlearn behaviors, habits and thought patterns that can impact our mental health and ability to cope with challenges.
My experience includes working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families of all backgrounds and walks of life. I have helped clients work through their mental health and life challenges. I use an integrative, person-centered approach that pulls from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic practices. Together we will approach life's inevitable demands, challenges, and frustrations by gaining skills to cope with various issues at hand.
