Life can feel incredibly heavy when the past refuses to stay in the past. If you’re tired of "just getting by," feeling constantly on edge, or noticing that old history is intruding on your present, I want you to know something important: healing does not have to be a retraumatizing experience.

I specialize in helping adults navigate unresolved trauma through a lens of total safety, pacing, and respect. You deserve a space where you can finally let your guard down, drop the heavy armor, and reclaim your story. Whenever you’re ready to transition from surviving to truly living, I am here to walk that path with you.

Leah Perle

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a dedicated therapist who strives to offer clients quality care that’s centered around my professional competence, firm adherence to legal and ethical standards, and continual expansion in my knowledge of the practice. My passion for learning about the human psyche and behavior is a large part of why I chose to work in this profession.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from California State University of Long Beach. I’ve received training and supervision in therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. I have experience in multiple settings including partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and non-profit organizations. I’ve worked with a range of populations including unhoused individuals, adults struggling with substance abuse, and clients with a range of mental health related issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
