Hello, my name is Michelle Leaman. As an LPC-IT with specialized training in DBT, CBT, and trauma, I offer support to both adolescents and adults. Whether you are a teenager grappling with overwhelming emotions, social challenges, or behavioral issues, or an adult feeling the immense weight of life’s responsibilities, please know that you are not alone in this journey. I am here to walk alongside you, helping you navigate these challenges and providing you with tools to find success in various aspects of your life. Creating a safe and welcoming environment is my priority. I am deeply committed to fostering your autonomy, self-discovery, and growth within a therapeutic relationship filled with empathy and understanding. I believe in the power of a client-centered approach, which emphasizes a non-directive, supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Additionally, my holistic approach recognizes the importance of treating you as a whole person, taking into account the interconnectedness of your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. I am here to serve as your support and guide through these challenging times with warmth and compassion.
