Getting to know Leah Sanders

My name is Leah Sanders, and I am the Lead Clinician at Cheerful Transformations LLC. As a psychotherapist specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and families develop the skills and insight needed to navigate life’s challenges with resilience. I believe every young person has the capacity for growth, and I work to create a safe, collaborative, and validating environment where that growth can thrive. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to each client’s strengths, cultural background, and developmental needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have over 10 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families in crisis. I specialize in supporting children and adolescents with mood disorders, trauma, and behavioral challenges using PCIT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and a range of personal or relational challenges. I also provide psychoeducation and support to parents seeking a deeper understanding of child development and effective strategies for navigating family stressors. Most clients see meaningful symptom improvement within the first month and continued gains thereafter.
