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, hiking and keeping my plants thriving. I am an internally conflicted Eagles fan.
