Leah's expertise spans a wide range of areas, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, teen therapy, young adult counseling, parenting support, family therapy, couples therapy, LGBTQ+ issues, and adjustment to medical diagnoses. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), trained in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), and is a Gottman Institute trained couples therapist.
In her practice, Leah emphasizes creativity and flexibility, understanding that each client's needs are unique. She excels at helping clients who may have had negative experiences with therapy in the past or struggled to find an approach that resonates with them. Leah is committed to ensuring that the strategies and insights discussed in therapy are practical and applicable to her clients' daily lives.
Clients working with Leah can expect a therapist who is not only professionally qualified but also deeply invested in their progress. Her goal is for each client to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with new ideas and skills to tackle their greatest stressors.
