Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Leighann Sapienza, a licensed clinical social worker with over 6 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, families, and couples. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming stress, anxiety or navigating life transitions, I'm here to provide support and guidance every step of the way. With compassion and empathy as guiding principles, I'll work collaboratively with you to explore your concerns, identify goals, and implement strategies for positive change.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in treating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and stress. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who are impacted by a loved ones' substance abuse. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and family systems therapy to meet your unique needs.

What you can expect from me

At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual. I recognize that every person brings their own set of experiences, strengths, and challenges to the therapeutic journey. I am committed to creating a space where you can express yourself authentically and feel truly seen and heard. I am here to support you with empathy, understanding, and acceptance. Together, we'll explore coping strategies, set healthy boundaries, and empower you to prioritize self-care.
