LeeAnn Page

Resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t—it’s something you can build, strengthen, and return to, even in the midst of life’s hardest challenges.

LeeAnn Page is a licensed clinical social worker in Waterford, Connecticut, with over 20 years of experience. Through her private practice, she works with teens and adults. LeeAnn specializes in ADHD, autism spectrum differences (including high-masking presentations), anxiety, trauma, burnout, and professional stress, including teachers, first responders, and healthcare workers.

She also supports individuals experiencing demand avoidance patterns (including PDA traits), particularly when related to anxiety, autonomy needs, and executive functioning challenges.

LeeAnn’s work is focused on building resilience—the ability to adapt, recover, and grow under stress. She helps clients strengthen executive functioning, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical, sustainable strategies for managing overwhelm, burnout, and daily functioning challenges.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on realistic, lasting change. She understands the impact ADHD, autism-related differences, chronic stress, and burnout can have on identity and functioning, especially in high-demand professions.

LeeAnn is committed to helping clients not only cope, but thrive—building resilience that supports lasting, meaningful change in their lives.

Her clinical work integrates a range of evidence-based, multi-modal approaches tailored to the individual. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC). She also has advanced training in Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC), Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Social Thinking, and Circle of Security.

The first session is focused on getting to know you and creating a sense of safety and comfort. We’ll begin by talking about what brings you to therapy, what feels most important in your life right now, and what you’re hoping to gain from our work together.

This time is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and my style, and to see if working together feels like a good fit. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals for therapy, whether that’s building resilience, managing ADHD or anxiety symptoms, navigating stress or burnout, or improving emotional balance and daily functioning. Early sessions often focus on understanding patterns, strengths, and challenges so we can create a clear direction for our work together.

Above all, the first session is about establishing a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
