Hi! I'm Leisia Landers, LCSW
As C.S. Lewis wisely put it, "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." I firmly believe in meeting clients exactly where they are. My approach centers on creating a safe space to address crises, assess immediate needs, navigate past traumas, and chart a course towards future self-improvement. Let's embark on this journey together. -Leisia
Leisia's Purpose Statement: Unveiling Her "Why" as a Therapist
I chose a career in Mental Health driven by my own experiences growing up in a family with grief, substance/alcohol abuse, and mental health issues. My own journey, navigating life during those times, and experiencing many other things in my own personal life along the way are what kept me focused on the mental health field and helping others in times of need. I have always been someone who put others needs before myself and in doing so I forgot to take care of the most important person, me! In finding myself and taking care of myself, I remembered the profound affect that trauma had on my life growing up and into my adult years. That only pushed me further to focus on the trauma field and the effects that it has on many of aspects of mental health. -Leisia Landers, LCSW

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at my Experience as a Therapist
I offer a client centered approach when helping my client's navigate what I call 'the speedbumps" of life. Each person goes through their own journey. Their past does not have to define them, but they can use their past to learn, and to help propel them into the future that they want to have, free of anxiety, depression and the mental health effects left behind by trauma and to be able to thrive in the midst of those same 'speedbumps" as they navigate this thing, we call LIFE! -Leisia Landers, LCSW
A Memorable Success Story
Everyone has a success story. It's all in the eyes of the beholder! I cannot choose just one. -Leisia
Maintaining Balance: How I Prioritize Well-Being to Serve Clients, Myself, and My Family
Self-care is extremely important to me so that I can be at my best for all clients. Although times gets tough, I always try to take time for self-care in order to maintain my own mental health, that includes anything from camping, fishing, reading, hot tub time, shooting sporting clays, just to name a few. I even believe in taking 'mental health days' from work when things get too heavy. There has to be a balance in order for us to be our best and to be able to be fresh in our thoughts when helping others navigate their own mental health obstacles. I share lots of alone time with my dogs at home, as well. And I have recently returned to reading books. I'm widely known as the "crazy dog lady" – I've always had a pack of pups at home and advocate for rescue animals online. -Leisia, LCSW
