“What I admire most about Leila is the way she shows up for the people in her life. She has a gift for listening—really listening. She never rushes to offer advice or tell you what to do. Instead, she asks thoughtful questions, helps you see things from a different angle, and you walk away feeling more clear and grounded. She's compassionate without being overly sentimental, honest without being harsh, and incredibly easy to talk to. She brings a sense of warmth, calm and steadiness to every interaction.
I’ve known Leila for nearly 10 years. She is a gift of a human to have in my circle. Anyone would be fortunate to have her in their corner. ”

“I had such a positive experience working with Leila Savage. She is incredibly warm, compassionate, and an exceptional listener. I truly felt seen and heard throughout our time together. She created a safe and supportive space, and was deeply sensitive to my past experiences and areas of pain. I left feeling encouraged and hopeful about the healing work ahead, and confident that she will help facilitate a process that is insightful, meaningful, and genuinely supportive. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank you!”

Getting to know Leila Savage
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Sessions Psychotherapy
I am a multiracial Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Middle Eastern roots, offering culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy that centers identity, relationships, and lived experience. I integrate CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), feminist theory, and client-centered care to support individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, shame, relational challenges, and questions of identity. I am especially passionate about working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, creating a collaborative and compassionate space where clients can deepen self-understanding, reduce shame, and build more grounded, fulfilling, and authentic lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me means entering a collaborative, compassionate space where your full self is welcome—your identity, your relationships, your history, and the parts of you that may feel in conflict. Together, we’ll gently explore patterns shaped by lived experience, reduce shame, and build a more grounded, self-compassionate relationship with yourself. I show up with warmth, honesty, and care—and will sometimes gently challenge you when it supports your growth. My goal is for you to feel more connected, clear, and empowered in how you move through your life and relationships.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work with clients is collaborative and paced with care. In our early sessions, we focus on understanding what brings you in, your lived experiences, and the patterns that feel most present in your life right now. I take time to learn about your identity, relationships, and the internal parts of you that may hold different needs or perspectives.
From there, we begin to gently explore how past experiences, cultural context, and protective patterns show up in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I integrate trauma-informed care, CBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you build insight while also developing practical tools for change.
As therapy continues, we deepen self-understanding, reduce shame, and strengthen self-compassion. Sessions often move between reflection, emotional processing, and skill-building, always guided by your pace and goals. Over time, the work becomes about supporting you in feeling more grounded, connected, and able to live in alignment with who you are becoming.
