Dr. Katie Leoni

Everyone’s journey is unique, shaped by your strengths, life experiences, values, and hopes for change. I honor these differences and believe therapy should reflect who you are and what you need. Reaching out for help can be difficult, and I’m here to support you with kindness as you step outside your comfort zone and work toward your goals.

In our work together, I’ll create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. While I bring my expertise to our sessions, you are the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll explore the thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back and develop practical tools for lasting change. By combining evidence-based approaches with a focus on your strengths, we’ll work toward your goals and help you face future challenges with confidence.

As a mother of two young children, I’m particularly passionate about supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I offer compassionate care for new and expectant parents, providing a nonjudgmental space to work through the unique challenges of this stage of life. Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, helpless, or stuck. Together, we’ll build a personalized toolkit to help you cope with these challenges, manage your symptoms, and improve your overall well-being.
