First and Foremost,
Hello & Welcome!
Congratulations on taking the first step towards starting your therapeutic journey. I am so happy that you are here.
A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Leah!
My name is Leah Winders, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kansas City, Missouri- which is a fancy way of saying I am licensed to assess, diagnose and provide mental health treatment.
My approach to counseling is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my job is to work with you as a partner to address your unique needs and goals. The most important part of our journey together is our therapeutic relationship- this means that the space that we create throughout our sessions will always be judgment-free, empathetic, positive and collaborative. That's not to say that it won't sometimes be difficult, but it will be worth it.
Outside of my professional life, I love watching movies, reading, listening to podcasts, traveling, spending time with my husband, and playing with my precious Corgi, Bucket.
