I am in a rough spot right now, but Leigh has been helping me navigate this challenging chapter in my life. She reminds me of who I am and empowers me to stand up and fight for myself. I chose her because she is a woman of color, which makes her relatable and helps me feel understood. She is a truly special woman, and I appreciate her more than she knows.

It was wonderful talking/meeting Leigh. She was attentive, warm and I felt completely comfortable with her. So blessed to have found her.

Financially, I needed to transition from an out-of-network to an in-network provider. After seeing the same therapist for over ten years, I was also looking to shake things up by working with someone new. Leigh was very welcoming and warm. She shared a bit about herself and created a safe atmosphere for discussion. As I talked about my background, Leigh pulled up a diagram to further explain a therapeutic process we could use to work on my areas of struggle. Overall, I had a great intro session.
