Getting to know Leah Isom
Welcome! I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My purpose as a therapist is to provide a safe environment for you to feel understood and supported on your path to personal growth and recovery. I believe in guiding the healing process through a compassionate and person-centered approach, integrating various therapeutic methods tailored to meet each individual's needs, ensuring that you feel seen and heard. My hope is to empower you to find lasting freedom from your mental health struggles. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or returning to therapy, you are worthy of taking this step forward into healing.
I often use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In our sessions, we will compassionately explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I will guide you through developing healthier patterns of thinking as well as tools to deal with distress in the mind and the body.
Have you been searching for relief from an eating disorder, body image issues, depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts and wish you could feel at peace in your mind and your body? I'm here to encourage you as someone who has been there before, that there is hope and healing is possible. Reaching out to ask for help is the first step towards reclaiming your life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I focus on maintaining clear and open communication to create a supportive, judgment-free space. Through active listening, I will work with you to reflect on your experiences with empathy and understanding. When facing difficult moments, you can count on me to remain calm and patient as we work through your struggles together.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own recovery from an eating disorder and a deep desire to help others navigate life’s most difficult challenges. During graduate training, I had the privilege of working with individuals facing eating disorders and those healing from trauma. These experiences highlighted the transformative impact of therapy and strengthened my dedication to supporting others in their healing process. Watching clients build confidence and discover a sense of peace is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our initial sessions, we will work together to understand your personal story and goals for therapy to create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs. We will collaborate throughout the treatment process to help you feel empowered to heal from your struggles.
Our first session is simply a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about your background and what’s bringing you to therapy, and there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to. We’ll walk through this journey side by side, creating a space where healing can unfold, and I’ll be here to support and guide you along the way.
