My Idea of Care

I see the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. My experience, and research demonstrates this as well, is that the greatest predictor of success in a clinical relationship is the alliance between patient and caregiver. This is nurtured through warmth, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

Personal Interests

Dr. Leichter is married and has two adult children.  He enjoys traveling, watching science fiction, baseball in any form (going to a game, fantasy baseball, watching it on TV), spending time with friends, and talking to anybody about Star Trek.
