About Dr. Liebman
I am a Philadelphia-based psychologist who brings extensive experience working with individuals and couples across the lifespan, with advanced training in couples therapy. My career has taken me through a wide range of clinical settings including college counseling centers, inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol facilities, and leadership consulting, giving me a broad perspective on the challenges people face and the resilience they can build.
​
Collaboration is central to my work. I coordinate care with psychiatrists, physicians, and other providers to ensure clients receive comprehensive support. Over the years, I’ve built a trusted professional network and am always glad to provide referrals when helpful. I also serve on the board of the Philadelphia Society of Psychoanalytic Psychology (PSPP), stay active in professional organizations, and lead The Therapy Practice, a group practice offering high-quality therapy in Philadelphia tailored to a wide range of client needs.
​
Outside of work, I love exploring car shows (a nod to my former career in the auto industry), discovering new restaurants and bakeries in Philadelphia, playing tennis, and keeping my plants thriving.

Please contact me with any questions or to learn more about starting therapy.
