LPC, 7 years of experience
As a Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, my hope is to engage in a collaborative therapeutic alliance with each individual & couple: fostering self-efficacy, developing new coping skills, focusing on strengths, and finding solutions that support your journey for self-discovery and overall healing. Using a framework of Person-Centered Therapy with techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions-focused Therapy & Mindfulness-based Techniques, will help you learn to manage reactions to challenges as you integrate new perspectives into your life.
During your first session, it will be more focused on gathering information for your overall history and main reason for seeking counseling in order to help develop goals and a plan for therapy.

Leeann Allagas is amazing! She listens and provides great insight. Our goals were heard and the "homework" assigned directly helps us work towards those goals.

Leeann is a great therapist! She is a gift and finding her was the best thing for me and my mental health. She helps me to cope with things that I feel I am unable to do in my life with past and present situations and life in general. So very greatful for her and the work that she does.
