Leigha Rogers

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.

I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.
