Currently, she supports individuals and families through challenges around emotional dysregulation, difficulties in relationships, issues of transitions and identity development, and cultural diversity.
With an integrative perspective, Dr. Lechtman combines insight-oriented approaches with skill-based treatments.

In recent years, Dr. Lechtman’s interest and dedication have been focused on psychedelic and plant medicine and its enhancement of the psychotherapeutic process. She is passionate about working from a holistic perspective with non-ordinary states of consciousness, psychedelic harm reduction and integration, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. She has been training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (in collaboration with MAPS) and Fluence.
