"There was a time I was so resistant to counseling even though I needed it deeply. Once I met Leah, I knew my counseling experience would be different. It has been a tremendous blessing to have a counselor who truly cares about her clients. Never have I felt so supported and safe talking with someone about the deepest parts of my soul. She has stood by my side without judgment, gave me the tools I needed to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. I thank God for bringing Leah into my life, using her in a distinctive way. My life has changed forever and I will forever thank Leah for guiding me through the darkest days of my life."- a different experience

"I’ve had Leah as my counselor in person and long distance, over the computer, and both have been amazing! She is very knowledgeable in her field and also relies on the Bible, giving spiritually founded help. You can always see that she cares very much for her clients.
