I utilize evidence-based practices such as CBT and motivational interviewing to aid in change.
Hello! I’m Leah. Oftentimes kids and teen’s feelings are invalidated or told that what they are experiencing is “not a big deal.” That can be very frustrating, especially as a teen! My goal as a clinical social worker is to help people, no matter their age, work through their trauma, anxieties, and life struggles. I understand how trauma and life experiences can shape a child or teen’s life which is why I am so passionate about helping youth through these vulnerable years.

Having difficulty motivating oneself, is it tough for you to get up in the morning because of the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that constantly weight you down, do you feel depressed or anxious, are you abusing alcohol, prescribed drugs and or illegal drugs as a means of coping or dealing with life. Maybe you are abusing other things like food, sex and or gambling as a means of coping and you just don't know how to stop.

Do you ever feel like it’s Groundhog Day? Every day seems exactly like the one before. You wake up, work, eat, sleep - lather, rinse, repeat. We’re all a little different than we were pre-pandemic. Perhaps you’re taking care of aging parents, your kids, trying to keep your marriage together. But what about you? Who takes care of you? You thought working from home would be great, but now you feel isolated and alone. You have people you can talk to, but you don’t want to feel like you’re “complaining”. You just want to stop feeling as though you’re on autopilot. You’re just… so… tired. You know what? I feel exhausted sometimes, too.

When speaking with people about finding a therapist, I like to compare the process to finding the right hairdresser or making a new friend: If someone doesn’t match what you’re looking for or help you envision and plan for a healthier or more fulfilling life, then move on to the next one! Therapy is very personal, and I take a person-centered approach. My own experiences as a survivor of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) - as well as firsthand knowledge of and experience in coping with family adjustment issues and addiction in loved ones – provide me the insight needed to have meaningful sessions with my clients.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
