About Leny Virginia

 

About Me

I trained as a clinical psychologist and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the U.S., with over 20 years of clinical experience, including more than a decade in private practice in New York. I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University and specialize in helping individuals and families navigate trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Currently, I am a faculty member at Columbia University, teaching master's level courses. I also serve as a board member at Open Minds Early School and consult for the Association to Benefit Children.

Previously, I worked as a school psychologist at a K-12 school, conducting psychological assessments and developing therapeutic interventions for students.

I stay actively engaged with my community through board and advisory roles focused on children's mental health and wellbeing. At the heart of my work is a belief in the power of relationships, with others and with ourselves, and how exploring our internal world and communicating more honestly can help us unlock our full potential.

If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect.

Sincerely,

 
Leny V. Bolivar, MS, LCSW
