Leah Dietrich
There are times in our lives when we feel uncertain- may be questioning direction or unsure of the path to continue on. I have been there and my desire is to help you in this time. Whether you are experiencing grief, struggling with a life transition, having a difficult time connecting with others, or are just struggling in general- you don’t have to do it alone. I am passionate about this work and have spent the last 14 years supporting individuals in major life transitions - often times where there lives had been at rock bottom and I had the honor of helping them to find their light again. Throughout that time in my career I learned many things and want to help apply that knowledge to supporting you. I have a passion for helping people find joy in difficult seasons and have experienced abrupt changes and the importances of finding support. I want you to leave our sessions feeling like you have a plan and that a weight has been lifted.
First session
Our first session is going to be about understanding where you are and what you want from this experience. We won’t be able to cover everything in one day and address every challenge you are facing, but this will be the start. It is hard to find the motivation to get started sometimes, but taking that first step and scheduling the first session is a great way to move forward. I have always been easy to connect with from the cashier at the grocery store to the neighbor down the street I have a way of connecting with others and would love to support you.
Strengths
I believe my sessions are unique because I am in tune with my clients. I will listen and understand and connect with where you are and what your goals are. I will not judge you- I will not leave you and I will support you. It is my goal to make the load that you are carrying a bit lighter and the path a bit clearer each time we meet. Those who know me know that I try to bring joy to every day. I don’t believe that everything must be solemn- we have moments of pain and struggle, but we don’t have to remain there. I have a light that comes from faith and joy that I get to be with you in your journey.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is looking for a way forward and wants change. You might not have the energy to change- it might feel impossible, but you want change. If you want support and perspective and someone to join you on your journey then I am the right person for you. You could be facing any problem in life or everything could be ok, but you feel stagnant. If you have a desire to change and to grow then I want to support you in that. Let’s find that spark!
Treatment methods
Integrative
Coming to counseling is a sign that you are seeking change and support and that is my role. I am here to support you and believe that you are the expert on your life. I will work with you to provide a safe space for you to explore and share your struggles. We will build trust and you will learn what you need in order to take the next steps on your journey. I start from a person-centered approach and that means that I will listen- clarify and support you without judgement. I will pull other therapeutic techniques and tools to support you as we work together. You set the pace and the goals and I will work to help you navigate the road to get there. You don’t have to do this alone and you can overcome hard things.
