Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Kaleesa or Leesa for short. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and many more mental health issues. I have a Bachelor's and Master's in social work. I've spent most of my career working with people and families as a whole. Therapy is a passion for me. I truly believe that people can and should be their true authentic selves.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to empowering my clients with the tools, training, and knowledge they need to perform optimally day in and day out. Through the use of evidence-based strategies.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to be listen to and challenged in sessions with me. I create a safe and friendly environment. I will never push or pressure someone to talk about things that are uncomfortable. I will be a positive support throughout your journey in therapy with me.
