About Me
Leanne understands that the journey to a fulfilled life and embraced self shouldn’t be a lonely one. Specializing in addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, eating disorders, body image, and trauma, Leanne connects with her clients on a deep, personal level while offering a non-judgemental, safe environment. Acting as co-pilot on the route to positive self-exploration and healthy solutions for change, she brings a natural, authentic, and compassionate approach to every one of her psychotherapy sessions. A graduate of the Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy’s (TIRP) intense three-year relational psychotherapy program and a member of The Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT), Leanne’s experience as a therapist spans over nine years. Prior to the completion of her relational psychotherapy studies, Leanne completed a psychology and fine arts degree from York University. Her education in both fine art and psychology has provided her with a solid base throughout her career as both an art therapist and relational psychotherapist. In addition to the training above, Leanne completed the Certified Trauma Informed Practitioner program (CITC) at the Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH). Leanne continues to further her expertise in trauma through her current studies at the Somatic Experiencing Training Institute where she is working towards completing her advanced training in Somatic Experiencing (SE).
Leanne’s deep passion for helping others succeed mentally, emotionally, and physically stems, not only from professional experience and education but personal experience as well. Leanne has also undergone an extensive journey in her own self-discovery and healing which inevitably lead her to her work as a Registered Psychotherapist. She also runs workshops on anxiety, as well as a workshop for parents and caregivers of loved ones who suffer from eating disorders. Leanne is also a passionate public speaker. Having now travelled internationally to speak and share her story, her natural ability to deliver value through purposeful information and personal insight and experience helps stimulate change and positive development to an array of audiences. An advocate for a balanced life, Leanne enjoys spending her spare time hiking, going for walks, meditating, and being creative.
