"Jessica Leader possesses everything one could ever want in a therapist. Her compassion, empathy, and genuine desire to help others drive her entire therapeutic approach. Jessica has an unwavering commitment to facilitating positive transformation in her clients' lives and establishing connections rooted in trust and safety. Many mental health professionals lack the nuanced understanding of how to build rapport with clients, instill hope and know-how, work with clients on mutually agreed upon goals, and ultimately empower their clients to navigate challenges both during and after treatment. Jessica is the exception."

I will carry what I’ve learned with Becky for the rest of my life."
- Client, 2022
"During a challenging life transition, I worked with Becky for a year and a half. She was to me a version of a mother I desperately needed but didn't have. She reminded me of my own capabilities, ambitions, and overall personal strengths. Becky is both a therapist in terms of helping you find the root of your problem, but also a cheerleader. She has so much warmth and compassion. I always felt safe and comfortable with her during our biweekly sessions. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist to help me through such a difficult time. "

"Our lives don't often equip us for the kind of deep connection that a relationship represents. So like with anything you do for the first time ever, you are going to fall & it’s bound to leave a bruise.

Our therapist was there to help us do exactly that."
