Leyla Richards

I have over six years of experience in group and individual therapy, primarily with adult individuals and couples. At this time, my focus is providing therapy regarding relationship issues for individuals and couples, as well as men's mental health issues, and women's issues for individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. If you don't check one of those boxes but you are interested in a consultation, please reach out! We still may be a great fit. My background includes working with PHP and IOP levels of care; adults with symptoms of depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, and other diagnoses; and adjustment disorders.

I have training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These are the two frameworks I use primarily. I also practice Somatic Therapy, CBT skills, AEDP, and other attachment-based therapies. I utilize a trauma-informed and culturally competent lens with all my clients. I often show up with a sense of humor (when the time is right) and I love a good metaphor!

My hope is for all my clients to feel deeply cared for in our therapy space, and to feel empowered to close the gap between their ideal and current lifestyles. I foster an environment where you can unmask and relax as your authentic self.
