Hi, I am Leah, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been licensed for 15 years. I went to UCLA for undergrad and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I went to CIIS in San Francisco to get my Masters in Counseling Psychology. I loved my graduate program. Not only did it have amazing teachers, but it emphasized experiential learning, mindfulness meditation and your own personal growth. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I believe in meeting people where they are at, building on their strengths and working collaboratively. I continue to work on myself and learn new skills and I look forward to working with you on this path toward healing and self discovery.
