I am a licensed psychologist with extensive therapy experience treating adults and couples in a wide variety of settings including outpatient as well as residential settings. I offer psychological evaluations on children, adolescents, adults and families of varying cultures affiliations, sexual orientations, and levels of socioeconomic status. I respect my clients and apply therapeutic skills based on their needs, and help them to grow and change to cope with their life challenges.

At times it is difficult to reach out and seek help. But consider how you are feeling now... and take a step forward. It's time to cut through depression, fear, shame and doubt. It's time to start creating better options for a better life. My style may be considered straight talk, honest and to the point. So, if you have had enough of the negative, then call me and let's set a course for something different, something better. Both misery and joy love company, which one will you choose?

I understand how difficult it can be to find a therapist you can trust. I provide a safe environment where you can explore and overcome your challenges to ultimately heal from your experiences. I provide therapy with a warm and empathetic approach where you can process without feeling like you are being judged. My therapy style is integrative, as I understand that human beings are unique and there is no one size fits all therapy. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, anger, addiction, disordered eating behaviors, and trauma. I also offer EMDR therapy.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I have been working in the counseling profession for over 10 years with experience working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families impacted by a wide variety of issues ranging from day-to-day relational difficulties to crisis intervention. If you are interested in flourishing as an individual and growing the depth of your relationships, I believe that hope can be found for you. I currently have availabilities during the day and in the evenings at my office location in Irvine and via telehealth, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Perhaps you are struggling with body image, exercise, self-esteem or your relationship with food. Or, you have achieved recovery, but wonder if you might be slipping back into old behaviors. Maybe you feel like your emotions are overwhelming and getting in the way of your day to day life activities.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Courtney Leedom MFT specializes in treating depression, anxiety, relationship dysfunction, and childhood disorders. Courtney uses relationship-based psychotherapy as well as cognitive behavioral techniques.When treating children, she uses developmental techniques including play and art therapy.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, and their families to help discover each person's unique strengths and challenges. I conduct assessments and evaluations on young children with developmental delays, school-aged children who may be experiencing difficulty in school or emotional and/or social difficulty, as well as adolescents who may be experiencing a variety of issues. I have extensive experience conducting evaluations for children with Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, behavioral issues, as well as emotional disturbances including anxiety and depression. I also have experience working with couples for psychological evaluations during the adoption or surrogacy process.

For many people, a barrier to therapy is the fear of being judged, blamed, or simply not receiving the right help. This is why I make it my aim to help you feel deeply cared for, respected and valued. Because I have been in the field for over a decade, I'm able to determine the right course of treatment and the appropriate modality to use. While I am getting to know you, I build a roadmap in my mind based on your goals and objectives. I organize and prioritize things based on your needs so that you don't have to struggle with knowing where to start.

Life can be really hard sometimes, whether you are a college student feeling overwhelmed or a parent watching a child struggle. If you or your child/adolescent is regularly experiencing overwhelming feelings of worry, anxiety, panic, sadness (or all of the above!) and feel stuck in them, I can help. I specialize in therapy that brings an enduring sense of calm and confidence, frees us to focus on what really matters in life, and is grounded in the latest science. I am often described as a supportive, warm, and relatable clinician who gives freedom for authenticity, humor and exploration.

Relationships can be challenging and complex. I offer individual and couples therapy from a relational context. The approach to individual therapy I use is unique in that I don't just treat you, the individual; I also focus on the relational dynamics at play in your home, workplace, and personal life that contribute to your mental health concerns and your emotional wellbeing. In couples therapy I focus on the relationship itself with benefits to the individuals involved ensuing rather than being pursued. Satisfying relationships are not just about meeting each others needs, but are about meeting the relational needs that exist between you.

Welcome, I’m specialized and experienced in working with babies, children, adolescents and their families. I believe that the process of psychotherapy is a shared experience between a therapist and a client. We together will use therapy, to create a space where we can reflect on and understand your and your child’s emotional and mental states and connect these to behaviors and difficulties. This space eventually will lead you and your child to reorganize feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Understanding and awareness will give birth to change.

Feeling overwhelmed with juggling multiple stressors and different parts of your life? Coping with unexpected life changes is hard.
