Leah Kercheville, AMFT, ERYT
Therapy is a collaboration. You are the authority on your own experience and your own goals, and I strive to honor that truth. I want to know what you want to work on, and help you get there with compassion. It takes courage to set on a path of healing and growth and I offer space to move towards your chosen goals at your own pace. You are a unique person; I individualize treatment to your values and intentions over preconceived ideas of what "healthy" means.
I have 8+ years of experience with populations facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual assault, eating disorders, body image, and addiction.
I also have years of experience in somatic therapies, which addresses the physical symptoms of stress, trauma, and emotions. Many people experience behaviors or compulsions—usually based on past traumas that negatively impact their daily lives. A somatic approach is a form of healing this trauma in the body. It is especially helpful in decreasing compulsive behaviors, including addiction, and cultivating a sense of safety in one's body.
In addition to my qualifications as a therapist, I have a background in art and performance, and I love to work with artists, writers, animators, editors, directors, and actors to support their creative goals.
