Deni Leigh (She/her)Counsellor

clinic location

Overview

How often do we prioritise the people in our world and neglect our own needs, putting ourselves last? I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am competent in broad range of counselling therapies. I have expertise in providing situation-specific counseling sessions and experience in working with children and adults with trauma backgrounds, and families in the foster care system. I am knowledgeable in child, youth, and adolescent development, including social, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive strategies. My practice was born from the deep conviction that we can all lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, regardless of – and in spite of – our circumstances, background, abilities, diagnoses or age. My greatest joy is to empower and assist men, women and children and couples on their individual and uniquely crafted journey towards new possibilities, meaning and well-being. My approach to counselling is to create a safe environment that is free from judgement, a listening ear, and a place to bounce around ideas and ultimately bring solution. I believe it is vital to take the time to find a therapist that you trust, feel comfortable with and who has the required skills to help you achieve your goals. If you feel we would be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you. Kind regards Deni.
