My Approach to Helping
Hi there! My name is Alesha Leonard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with five years of experience. I have a wide range of experiences working with individuals between the ages of 3 and 65 experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms, substance abuse, and developmentalintellectual disorders. I take particular interest in working with the teen and young adult population, and I am well-versed in helping clients combat stressors related to life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I approach helping clients with a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness practices. I believe in an integrative approach to addressing client needs, as not all clients fit the same formula for recovery. I understand that everyone’s journey is different, and that adjusting to necessary changes to achieve desired results is hard. I believe it is important for clients to feel comfortable stating their needs and what they believe may work for them. In my office, transparency is important, and I hope to provide an environment for you to feel comfortable being vulnerable! I hope to offer you an open ear and insights into ways to tackle adversities and maintain peace on your journey to success.
