Leah Comeau
I am an LCSW, licensed in FL, VT, MA, MD and Co, and work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, numerous changes in life, and grief or loss, related to the world around us! Life can be hard sometimes, but we do not have to do it alone.
I have children with ADHD, Auditory processing disorder, dyslexia, and also have an daughter with major special needs.
I attended Rivier College for my BA and University of New Hampshire for my MSW.I have worked in multiple settings, including healthcare, hospice , adoption, addiction, and general outpatient mental health and relationships.
First session
I offer a steady, supportive space where you can learn to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions, and create stability for each client. My goal is to help you feel calmer, safer, and more connected, even when the situation around you is challenging.
Strengths
I have been in the field for over 7 years and have experience with different types of clients especially neurodivergent clients. Through a compassionate and supportive approach, I incorporate inner child work to help clients heal past wounds, build self-awareness, and develop healthier emotional patterns.
Ideal clients
Using a person-centered approach, I meet clients where they are and collaborate on goals that fit their needs and values. My focus is on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, build on their strengths, and develop skills for lasting growth. My goal is to help you meet your goals, in a way that is as comforting as watching the tides roll by.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I believe that all of us have strengths that sometimes we are not even aware of. I have found that these strengths are important to build on in therapy.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I provide an evidenced-based eclectic model of therapy, that puts you in the drivers seat. I create a calm, supportive space for individuals navigating anxiety and depression. My approach helps you build emotional balance, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of peace and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward lasting relief and a more grounded, fulfilling life. This background supports individual therapy as many people present to therapy with relational issues. I am so glad you are here!
Psychoeducation
Many clients benefit from psychoeducation. Many times issues are caused because the client is unaware of the dynamics of mental illness, child development, or a specific disease process. Educating them on what to expect can greatly impact their understanding and acceptance.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Through a supportive and person-centered approach, I help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and build practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life challenges. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, self-aware, and more confident in creating lasting positive change.
