Great to meet you!

You don't have to carry it all alone. What often feels like chronic stress, anxiety, or overwhelm is your nervous system signaling that you've been carrying too much for too long. I help women heal from trauma, calm their nervous systems, and feel more like themselves again.

Hi! I’m Leah Swanson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience in mental health across women's health clinics, schools, and private practice. As a woman, I deeply understand many of the challenges women face, including emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, perfectionism, self-criticism, divorce and breakups, and career burnout.

Many women are hard on themselves, overgive, overthink, and quietly wonder if they are enough. My goal is to help women develop a supportive inner voice, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful careers through nervous system regulation, evidence-based positive psychology, and somatic mind-body therapy.

I specialize in helping clients with ADHD and anxiety. What often looks like a lack of motivation, direction, or emotional reactivity is actually a dysregulated nervous system. I offer coaching focused on organization, structure, accountability, and emotional regulation. This isn't homework—we do it together in real time: make the call, write the email, take the step.

What you can expect from me

The first session is really about us getting to know each other. I want to hear what has been going on in your life, what is feeling difficult right now, You do not need to prepare anything or have the right words. Just come as you are.
