Leonard K Sarro, LCSW

Leonard is a licensed clinician who has been practicing in New York since 1996 in a myriad of settings and roles, both clinically and administratively.  He has experience with working with trauma victims, helping them to overcome the impact of PTSD using a variety of techniques and approaches, stemming from the use and practice of mindfulness.  Mr. Sarro has had experience working with families and children and has also worked with couples. Leonard does community-based work in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and enjoys the challenges of working with pre-teens and teens.  He has also helped parents to learn strategies to help them with parenting their teens, and has experience helping families learn how to diminish substance abuse in their teens in a very hands-on, pro-active approach.

Leonard enjoys using evidenced-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and contingency management to help clients and families learn to cope with their problems, and his vast experience in mental health allows him to have an understanding of the role that medication can play in recovering from mental illness and related issues.  His down-to-earth and relatable manner and desire to help others gives him the ability to help anyone feel comfortable in their path of seeking help and treatment. The amount of experience he has had also allows him to be able to navigate multiple layers of issues in a very seamless way.

Leonards’ own background in recovery for the past 35+ years has given him a great understanding of how 12-step programs can assist both the person in recovery, their families and their loved ones.  Mr. Sarro provides a great complement to Healing Solutions Center recovery-based model, and his close friendship with its founder Susan Cohen, allows him to be able to problem-solve with her to come up with the best possible solution any client may be seeking.

Our Mission

Our Services

Recovery Coach

As a recovery coach, we use strength- based support for persons struggling with active addiction or those already in recovery from alcohol, drugs, codependency, overeating or other addictive behaviors. We are helpful with making decisions about what to do with your life and the part your addiction or recovery plays. We also help you to stop addiction (abstinence) and reduce harm associated with addictive behaviors.

As recovery coaches, we can help you find resources for harm reduction, detox, treatment, family support and education as well as local and online support groups. We work with you to create a personalized plan to recover. Our goal is to help you to live in the solution and become free from addictive behaviors.

Recovery coaches do not offer primary treatment for addiction. We do not diagnose and are not affiliated with any treatment programs or 12-step groups. We support any positive change, especially helping when you come home from treatment, to avoid relapse. We help you build a community support for recovery, in addition to working on life goals such as relationships, work, education etc. Recovery coaching is action oriented with an emphasis on improving your present life situation and reaching future goals.

Life Coaching

As a life coach, we will counsel and encourage you with personal challenges, family dynamics, low self esteem, relationship issues, and life and career changes. We assess your goals and formulate strategies to help you meet those goals. We make recommendations based on realistic expectations by using attainable goal-reaching stepping stones. We also support and motivate you as you work toward lifestyle improvements.

As a life coach, we meet with you regularly; whether it is in person, skype, or on the phone to discuss your improvements and progress toward meeting your goals. We can help when you are going through transitions whether it is a relocation, unemployment, career changes or a new job. We can provide guidance and problem-solving methods for almost any life situation. We help you learn how to find your true passion, joy and fill your heart with happiness.

Meditation

As meditation teachers, we will teach you how to move from panic and anxiety to confidence and serenity. Through exploring different schools of thought and philosophy, we will find a technique or techniques that work for you. This will further help you move from fear and anger to self- love and self- kindness, from lost to found.

Our goal is to teach people to begin to live in the present moment. Present moment awareness is the key to bringing the best version of yourself to whatever situation is at hand. We teach you to be reflective instead of reflexive, so you can respond instead of react.

When you begin to have a consistent meditation practice, our goal is for you to begin to notice subtle shifts in your thoughts, choices, decisions and your actions on a daily basis. This begins to cause a shift in your behavior and you realize that your perspectives have widened with an increase in clarity and a more extensive sense of calm. This begins to create an increased alliance between what you think, say and do. You will begin to display your more authentic self you have been hiding from your whole life.

Testimonials

“I met Susan last January during a very difficult time in my life. I was having difficulties in all areas of my life including my job, relationships, self – esteem, spirituality and day to day living. I approached Susan in June and asked her for help! At first, I was hesitant to fully open up to her as I was fearful! My fear quickly subsided once I began working with her. Susan has an amazing heart and she is a very loving and caring individual. I found that I could confide in her and tell her anything with the confidence that she would not judge me! Susan has given me tools to implement in my daily life to become more successful, happy, confident and more loving. My life and mindset has changed so much since I began working with Susan. I have become a totally different person and I attribute all of that to the work I have done with her. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs to change their life in any way. Her kind heart and her understanding and compassionate nature is so rare that to have Susan in your life in any capacity is truly a gift!”
– Mindy W., Florida

“When I first came to Susan I was a broken little girl who had never been self-sufficient. I didn’t know how to deal with life on life’s terms and was very co-dependent. It has been 5 years since I first reached out to her for help. Since then, I have been able to change my life dramatically. Susan is the most nurturing and understanding women I have ever met. She has helped guide me through life to become a productive member of society. I no longer view myself as a broken little girl. Today I would title myself a happy, healthy and independent woman. It is only through her practice and guidance that I have achieved this much in the past five years and I recommend her to everyone seeking help in their life.”
– Rachel A., Florida

“Being introduced to Susan was a defining moment in my life. Before Susan I really had no goals or any sort of direction. I felt hopeless, insecure, insane, and I just didn’t feel like I was at my full potential at all! The women I am today is completely different than the girl I was back then. Susan and I worked together to set goals and she has helped me walk through some of my greatest fears and has helped me to achieve my goals. She made me aware of certain behavior patterns that I had, awareness of these patterns allowed me to grow and not feel so stuck. My perception has completely changed; I now see opportunities, experiences, and lessons instead of feeling like life is always against me. My personal relationships, career, and most of all the relationship I have with myself is amazing today. If you desperately want to change, Susan is the coach for you!”
– Brett B., Colorado

“We face many challenges in this ever- changing universe. Some we can deal with and many we need help in dealing with. I am a middle- aged woman that faces addiction and depression problems. Because of that, I do not communicate well with others, not openly anyway. I am grateful that Susan was put into my life. She has a remarkable gift. She is very personable and is down to earth. Susan helped me get down to the root of some issues because with Susan a bond was built and the trust I have in her is one of a kind. Susan is a very dedicated woman, and has helped women all over the world. She has the resources and the skills to help because this isn’t just a job to her, it’s her passion and it comes naturally. To have Susan help guide me with some very challenging life situations is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life!”
– Eleanor C., Pennsylvania

“I met Susan Cohen almost 10 years ago. Susan has guided me, uplifted me, and has helped propel me through MAJOR life changes. I come to Susan with a “problem” and I am effortlessly given a new outlook and perspective on how I can positively resolve these internal conflicts. Throughout my recovery, Susan has been both a confidant and a beacon of light and hope. There has never been a time when I have concluded my time with her that my outlook is not redefined and my confidence uplifted. To have the truly special gift that she has to help others is so rarely seen. I would highly recommend Susan to any one!”
– Melissa S., Florida
