Willow Gray Counseling
The willow tree represents flexibility and resilience as it withstands storms and high winds without breaking. Our world presents us with opportunities to learn and grow through hardship. As humans we are also able to do the same on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
To be open towards what life is teaching us, instead of fighting what it is trying to show us. The willow reminds us to work towards being open and willing in letting go what we cannot control. Allowing ourselves to become empowered in our true oneness.
About Leah
I have been able to walk along side clients in their journeys since 2019. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for clients to be themselves during our time together. It is important to me that clients feel heard in their treatment, and we work together in collaborative approaches to reach your goals. My style of therapy is best described as authentic, non-judgmental, and supportive. My intention is to honor where you are at in your healing journey and meet you with compassion and empathy. It is courageous to take the steps towards change and I would be honored to walk that path with you.

Services
The process of counseling includes, an intake assessment which involves background questions regarding the presenting concerns bringing you to services. Continued sessions involve a collaborative approach where we create a treatment plan which include your goals for wellness. Sessions there after are tailored to your needs within frequency of appointments, therapeutic modalities used, and duration of care.
I am a trained EMDR provider from the EMDRIA Institute and I use EMDR and a variety of other trauma informed techniques. I believe it is important to work through past related experiences to help heal in the present. I use mindfulness techniques, expressive art outlets, and person-centered as my focal point of care. I work with teenagers 15 and up and adults.
