Leah McLain

I believe therapy can be a space for honest self-exploration, healing, and growth. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and affirming environment where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and identities, including those with marginalized and intersecting identities.

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, perfectionism, depression, identity exploration, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, divorce, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I strive to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I take a holistic perspective, recognizing that our emotional well-being is shaped by both our internal experiences and the world around us. Together, we will explore patterns, build practical skills, strengthen self-awareness, and work toward creating a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. My work may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), parts work, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems concepts, and mindfulness-based practices.

I am especially passionate about helping people build meaningful connections with themselves and others, navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, and discover purpose in everyday moments. I enjoy supporting clients through the messy but meaningful process of reflecting on where they’ve been while creating the life they want moving forward.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, working with clay, listening to music, and exploring the local art scene.
