ABOUT LEGG COUNSELING & CONSULTING SERVICES
Legg Counseling and Consulting Services, LLC offers an elite, multi-dimensional continuum of psychological and psychiatric services, specializing in the advanced assessment, precise diagnosis, and sophisticated treatment of complex mental health challenges. Our practice is uniquely designed to bridge the mind-body interface, delivering world-class, integrated care tailored to the individual. Psychoanalysis is provided by a doctorally prepared, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania-licensed professional psychologist. Concurrently, advanced psychiatric medication interventions/clinical psychopharmacology are directed by a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP), dually board-certified in both Family Psychiatric-Mental Health nursing (PMHNP-BC) and Gerontological nursing (GNP-BC). By unifying deep psychoanalytic work with expert neurobiological oversight under a singular, discreet banner, we provide an unparalleled, holistic environment for enduring clinical resolution and personal evolution.
A Continuum of Clinical Sophistication: Settings and Specializations
My clinical perspective has been refined through extensive experience across the entire continuum of psychological and psychiatric medicine, spanning acute inpatient settings, high-intensity crisis centers, and specialized outpatient programs. This expansive foundation includes frontline experience within New York State’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Programs (CPEP), where I managed acute psychological crises with precision and compassion. My expertise further extends into the critical fields of addiction medicine and recovery, encompassing inpatient detoxification, intensive rehabilitation frameworks, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programming (IOP). This deep immersion in addictive disorders allows me to seamlessly integrate advanced medication-assisted therapies (MAT) with deep psychological inquiry, offering a sophisticated pathway out of compulsive cycles.
In parallel with my work in crisis and stabilization, I possess extensive expertise in the nuanced domains of forensic and correctional psychology. Having navigated the complex realities of the justice system, I provide dedicated care to individuals both during and following incarceration, expertly addressing the unique, systemic psychological burdens and identity transitions associated with institutional environments. Complementing this forensic acumen is a profound dedication to restorative trauma work. I offer a secure, highly specialized clinical alliance for individuals working to process and integrate the highly nuanced psychological aftermath of crime, systemic violence, and acute victimization. This breadth of experience ensures that no matter how complex or heavy the life challenge, it is met with an unparalleled level of clinical expertise and humanity with a goal of enhanced resilience.

PRACTICE INFORMATION
Emergency Protocols & Clinical Scope
Critical Notice: If you or a loved one are experiencing an acute mental health crisis or life-threatening emergency, please bypass this office and contact 9-1-1 immediately, or proceed to the nearest emergency medical facility.
An Exclusively In-Person Practice: Legg Counseling and Consulting Services is fundamentally designed around the efficacy and relational depth of traditional, in-person clinical care. My modern, comfortable professional suite is located within the historic Moore Building in downtown Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. To preserve the integrity and nuance of the psychoanalytic alliance, this practice does not operate as an online or telehealth platform. While a remote session may occasionally be arranged under rare, extenuating circumstances, in-person engagement remains the absolute standard of care for my practice.
