I am one of a HANDFUL of Filipina American therapists based in Houston, the fourth largest and most diverse city in the nation. I am trilingual in English and the Filipino dialects: Tagalog and Cebuano. I have a unique understanding of the bicultural/immigrant experience, being an immigrant myself. I believe everyone has an innate need to feel seen and valued. This is my goal in my practice: that the person sitting in front of me knows their value and provide a safe space to process the jagged edges of life. I want to ensure that the goals clients have in therapy are met and to empower them to face the other side of my office door.

I am committed to providing life changing solutions to my clients in an engaging, respectful, and supportive manner. Whether seeking assistance in coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, marital issues or grief and loss, the decision to seek psychotherapy is an important step on the path of meaningful change. I am trained and experienced in the use of several effective therapeutic techniques and am committed to tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs. My therapeutic style is centered in mutual collaboration, honest and open communication, and pragmatic approaches to dealing with issues.

Are you looking for joy in your life and finding that it is eluding you? Do you want to thrive rather than just survive? Are you ready to take the next step? My clients are people who are seeking greater happiness and are willing to believe that there might be a better world available to them. I work with clients to identify stressors and strengths, overcome emotional barriers, and create a plan to successfully engage in life on life's terms. Each day brings new opportunities to live life to the fullest. Positive change happens, and it is within your grasp.

I have been in private practice for over 30 years and offer psychotherapy and evaluations for adults 21 and over. I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, loss and relationship concerns. I incorporate faith-based principles as desired and am inclusive of all backgrounds and orientations.

Welcome, I'm Leigha. I am a seasoned therapist with over 15 years of experience in the social work and mental health field. In addition to my private practice, I have held roles such as school counselor, case manager, in-home therapist, residential treatment clinician, intensive outpatient program director, field instructor for Master’s level students and clinical supervisor. I have a particular interest in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, body image/disordered eating behaviors, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, grief, clients during pregnancy and parenthood and the LGBTQ+ population.
