Choice Theory in Private Therapy

In this episode, I interview therapist and partner in Citron Hennessey Therapy, Leonard Citron. I met Leonard after he had received his certification in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy and instantly knew he had a lot to offer. Leonard is from Ireland and has made a life for himself in New York City as an adjunct professor at NYU, a fellow at The Albert Ellis Institute and a partner in a therapy practice employing approximately 35 therapists in the greater NYC area. In this conversation, we talk about why he offers Choice Theory training to all his therapists and the benefits they derive from that. Should you want to take advantage of their Mindfulness Group offering, write to info@privatetherapy.comfor details. If you'd like to contact Leonard directly, he can be reached at Leonard@privatetherapy.com.
