I had tried therapy a few times in the past and did not have very good experiences. The in-person appointments I experienced with multiple different therapists left me feeling misunderstood, even more anxious, and like therapy wasn't for me and I would be "broken" forever. When my life was at one of it's absolute lowest points I decided to give better help a chance as a last resort. I was paired with Mrs. Patricia Leigh and from the very 1st time we chatted I felt comfortable, heard, and understood. She is without a doubt the beat therapist I personally have ever worked with and I can not thank her enough or recommend her enough to anyone who is nervous about trying therapy. She has helped me so much since starting our sessions. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to cancel me sessions for a while. Now that I am back to regularly scheduled appointments, I can't wait to see the growth that will come with working with Mrs. Patricia more!

More about Patricia
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPCC
I am a licensed professional counselor as well as a board approved supervisor and registered play therapist. I have 9 years experience as a Mental Heath Clinician as well as 13 years as a preschool teacher and 20+ years as a CNA in geriatric environment . I am highly trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the approach appeals to me as it is direct and empirically supported.
My experience and education involving child development allows me to see young people as unique and individual rather than "cookie cut" small adults and children's zest for life and limitless imagination fascinates me.
I am compassionate and caring with endless patience and feel my career is a calling and not just a job or career. I embrace and support your decision to pursue therapy. It is not an easy decision for a lot of people but you have already took a giant leap of faith in your healing process by reaching out and I am honored to have the privilege to join you in this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She's great. Started my therapy with her in dec 2023. Highly recommended if you need a patient and grounded funny soul to aid you through confusing and conflicting feelings and moods from both mental reasons and life happening reasons. Thank you, Patricia!
Patricia is a wonderful and present person who listened and helped me learn to start loving myself. I had never even thought that was a possibility.
Thanks for listening to me without any judgement and giving great advice.
Amazing therapist. Makes me feel better every time I talk to her.
