Leah Hashem, MSW Candidate
Hello! I'm Leah, a Clinical therapist intern here at Deeper Roots Wellness currently studying clinical social work and Infant Mental Health at Wayne State University.
As a dedicated therapist-in-training, I am committed to providing the best care possible by continuously learning and growing in my practice. I’m open to trying new approaches and highly value feedback that helps me improve. My experience as a Group Facilitator, working with individuals of all ages—from children to seniors—has given me a strong foundation in providing psychoeducation. This, combined with my academic training, has equipped me to offer compassionate and informed support to clients at Deeper Roots Wellness.
As an intern, I strive to learn as much as I can about what it takes to be the best clinician that I can be.
I am receptive to learning and adapting, trying new things, and receiving feedback to help me grow. My previous experience working as a Group Facilitator allowed me to work with various age groups to provide psychoeducation, ranging from ages eight to eighty. Knowledge from this position, coupled with my educational background, has prepared me to work with clients at Deeper Roots Wellness.
Parenting can often bring up feelings of shame and self-doubt, especially with the constant influx of unsolicited advice and internal pressures. In our work together, I will focus on your strengths and support you in navigating these challenging emotions. My goal is to help you foster healthy attachment and development within your family while ensuring you feel respected, supported, and hopeful throughout the process. My passion for helping families thrive is what inspired me to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work, specializing in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, and I bring that same dedication to my work with you.
When I am not working, attending classes, or studying, you can frequently find me being present with my family, watching movies with my husband, and playing with my three cats. I have a passion for cooking healthy, delicious meals and trying out new baking recipes.
