Leah Armstrong

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I specialize in treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, using evidence-based approaches like motivational interviewing and individualized treatment planning. My experience includes facilitating group therapy and working with diverse adult populations in recovery. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to make positive changes.

I believe therapy should feel safe, real, and even a little lighthearted when it fits. I use evidence-based tools like motivational interviewing and skill-building, but I also bring humor and warmth because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, while we work together to navigate challenges and celebrate wins along the way.

Our first session is all about building comfort and clarity. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what goals you’d like to work toward. I’ll explain how the process works, answer any questions, and gather some background information to better understand your needs. My priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and confident about the next steps.
