Therapist

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds things together for everyone else. I work with teens and adults who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are insightful and thoughtful people who want more than quick coping strategies — they want to understand themselves more deeply and experience real, lasting change.

Carol Leiva

Carol Leiva

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I focus on three areas I have come to know deeply, both clinically and personally: complex and generational trauma, adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can appreciate and understand the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you and having to create a new identity after these experiences.

Together, we explore how inherited patterns shape identity, relationships, and self-worth.

Because I know how painful it can be to live with patterns you did not choose, I offer therapy that is both compassionate and practical, a space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving forward with more clarity, self-trust, and intention with you as the lead expert of your experience.

On a personal note, I am happily married and a new mom. I am a lifelong learner and am committed to personal and professional growth through ongoing education, supervision, and therapy.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Norfolk, VA

Searching for postpartum therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or related specialties. A certification like PMH-C can also signal focused training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

In Norfolk, the right fit may depend on more than specialty. Consider whether in-person therapy in Norfolk, VA fits your schedule, or whether virtual sessions make care easier to access during infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum support in Virginia before you book.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare postpartum therapists in Norfolk, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
