Laurie Leonard, LMSW
I am a licensed social worker specializing in pet loss bereavement counseling. In addition to having a master's degree in clinical social work, I have completed the counselor training program of the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement, where I served as a co-facilitator for a weekly online support group. I have worked as a home care social worker for Cabrini Hospice in Manhattan, and I have facilitated bereavement support groups for hospices and a mental health clinic. In 2001 I received a New York City Volunteer Service Award from Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for my work at a telephone crisis hotline. My husband and I have three cats: Frankie, Doug and Izzie.
