Leah - LCPC & Clinical Director

Leah is the Clinical Director and Intake Coordinator of Calm Gardens Therapy. She graduated with her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a licensed certified professional counselor (LCPC).  

She works with a wide range of individuals from ages 13 and up. Leah has received training regarding trauma and stress, trauma-related EMDR, DBT, & critical incident stress management. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional I & II and a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (CASDCS). She is trained/familiar with areas including but not limited to ADHD, couples, personality disorders, etc. Moreover, she oversees the providers working with Calm Gardens in applying these approaches in their clinical work. She has completed supervision training in LCPC and AAMFT (and BCBA - behaviorism) to ensure she is capable of helping other providers at Calm Gardens grow into competent, professional clinicians. 

She is fluent in conversational American Sign Language (ASL); hopefully, clients will be patient as her receptive skills are a little slow, having completed the Deaf Studies program at CSN in 2014. Additionally, she has received additional doctoral-level education in Special Education, focusing on emotional and behavioral disorders and learning disabilities. She is also completing her internship to obtain her BCBA certification. This continual learning has supported her work with a variety of individuals, from children with selective mutism to individuals with disabilities, anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, and so on. Leah is also currently working toward obtaining her certification in Gottman Therapy, a couples counseling approach. 

She  believes that personal growth for the client is a continual process that often requires guidance and support. These, in addition to working with the client, builds a relationship that enables that growth to take place.
