Leanne Christian

I help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, self-doubt, trauma, or major life changes find steadiness again. My clients are often caring, capable people who feel stuck in survival mode—wanting peace but unsure how to get there. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and rebuild a sense of ease and confidence. We will also look back at how early life experiences shaped the way you see yourself and others, so we can shift old beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative—you’ll never have to face your struggles alone.

I guide people to make sense of what’s going on inside—the racing thoughts, the heaviness, the tension that lives in the body, and the patterns that keep repeating—and turn that insight into real change. We’ll build tools to calm your mind, regulate emotions, and set boundaries that actually stick.

Foremost, I am a person-centered therapist. I believe that nothing can be addressed in a vacuum, so I like to get to know my clients as a whole person. That way, I we can focus on strengths and resources as well as challenges. Sessions with me often feel conversational as I seamlessly weave interventions into our talk. Although sometimes clients will find me enthusiastically sharing how our discussion relates to a theory or intervention that I find relevant. I convey to my clients that our sessions are a safe space, free from judgment and kept confidential. This results in people sharing things they have never told anybody before, which can really help with self-acceptance and growth.

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. You won't be pressured to share more than feels safe—things will unfold at your pace. Together, we'll set goals, figure out how to track progress, and check in regularly to make sure therapy is meeting your needs.
