Great to meet you!

Hi I'm Leighann. I look forward to meeting you. I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Saint Leo University in 2008. I work with clients from teens to (ages 13 and up) using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution therapy (ART). I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral problems and adjustment disorders.

My approach to therapy

Clients are treated with CBT and ART. With CBT, clients can see the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behavior. With ART, client can process through anxiety, depression, trauma, or stuck thinking using eye movements to relieve their symptoms and feel like themselves again.

What you can expect from me

My goal is always for the client is for them feel improvement when they walk out the door. My hope is clients will feel relief from their symptoms, be able to process through significant events in their life and lose the symptoms that accompanied them, and also to have some fun while learning new skills.
