Dr Lea Crisante is a psychologist based in Leichhardt, NSW. You can find the practice at Suite 8, 10a Norton Street, Leichhardt NSW 2040. Dr Crisante provides therapy in a calm, down-to-earth way, with a focus on what’s going on for you right now.
Sessions can be either individual or with other people, depending on what feels most helpful. Individual therapy is a space to talk through stress, worries, mood changes, and the day-to-day things that can build up over time. At times, it can also help to slow things down and work out patterns you’ve noticed, even when they feel hard to explain.
For couples, Dr Crisante offers counselling to help with communication and closeness. Relationships can get stuck in the same conversations, the same misunderstandings, or the same hurt. In many cases, therapy supports both people to feel heard and to find small ways to move forward together.
Family therapy is also available. Family life can be busy and not always smooth. When tensions rise, it can affect everyone at once. Sessions aim to bring the family together in a more useful way, so you can talk about what’s happening and work out healthier ways to cope.
If group support is what suits you best, Dr Crisante also runs group therapy. Some people find it easier to feel less alone when they hear other lived experiences, while still having proper guidance in the room. Group work can be a helpful step when you want support beyond one-on-one sessions.
Alongside counselling, Dr Crisante provides stress management techniques. This can be useful when stress is showing up in your body or your mind and you’re looking for practical tools. Over time, learning simple strategies can make it easier to handle busy days, big changes, and those moments when things feel like too much.
Dr Crisante’s clinical work is centred on real-life support, not jargon. Sessions are guided by what you bring in, and the pace is kept realistic. Whether you’re coming in for yourself, your relationship, your family, or a group setting, the goal is to help you feel steadier and better equipped to cope.
