    Jeremy Lehrer, LMSW

    POSTGRADUATE SOCIAL WORK FELLOW

    Jeremy is a social work fellow at Elemental Psychology.

    He is a writer, editor, writing mentor, climate justice advocate, cinephile, and mountain walker. 

    Read about his style and approach as a therapist. 

    In the sacred process of inquiry and reflection, Jeremy is an attuned and gentle presence accompanying folks during their quest to explore emotions, longings, difficulties, joys, and truths. Pairing warmth and humor, he creates a space of nourishment that fosters insight and evolution. 

    Jeremy believes that through self-compassion and understanding ourselves as we are, we create a path for love and growth. He seeks to embody presence, not perfection, building on an awareness that our strengths, (so-called) weaknesses, and flaws are doorways to greater knowing. 

    Jeremy takes inspiration from the Liberation Health modality that guides us to look at systems of power as the source of myriad challenges; further, he seeks to examine the way that we resist and internalize these systems.

    Jeremy identifies as cishet, white, Jewish, Buddhist, middle class, and able-bodied. He resides on Munsee Lenape territory and celebrates the wisdom of indigenous elders and practitioner-scholars such as Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart and Lina Sunseri.
