Life is hard. Recovery and getting help is hard. Loving yourself and forgiving yourself is hard.

Thankfully, we can all do hard things.

- Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe

About Robert Leek

I provide a practice incorporating both traditional and non-traditional forms of therapy. I am an Afrocentric practitioner committed to addressing the counseling needs of a diverse community.

 

Currently working as a Counseling Therapist at Saint Francis Xavier University. I believe that I have come full circle in my counseling practice as I have worked in career agencies, academic agencies and have a long standing liaison with the Halifax Regional Police and the Justice system.  I am believer that the solution to most issues is rooted within the individual.  I provide counseling therapy to teens, adults, couples, and seniors. I am also a LGBTQ2 advocate.

 

My belief is that we have all experienced some form of trauma in our lives whether through domestic or intimate partner abuse, or throughout childhood transition.

 

I am passionate about helping individuals in making a positive and meaningful change in one’s life.
