Leah Goodwin, M.A. 

Leah Goodwin is a kind and compassionate Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern focused on helping individuals navigate life's challenges. With a commitment to fostering connection, growth, and resilience, Leah works alongside clients to support their personal journey toward healing and well-being.

 

Leah specializes in supporting individuals as they navigate a range of challenges related to gender and identity exploration, neurodivergence, developmental trauma, attachment wounds, life transitions, and relational difficulties. She draws from a psychodynamic framework to help clients explore how their past experiences and unconscious patterns influence their current emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Leah utilizes a blend of evidenced-based practices, including trauma-informed therapy, attachment-based techniques, strengths-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients find greater self-understanding, build healthier connections, and make empowered choices in their lives.

 

Leah obtained her master's degree from the University of Central Florida, where she thrived in expanding her skills and knowledge around mental health. Leah believes that fostering meaningful relationships is at the heart of healing. Her approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we are not meant to navigate life’s challenges alone. By building a safe and trusting connection with Leah, you will be able to explore your feelings and internal wounds in a gentle way that encourages seeking support and tapping into one's inner strengths. 

 

Leah is dedicated to creating a culturally sensitive, neuro-affirming, and gender-affirming space for her clients. She is committed to ongoing professional development, constantly seeking to expand her knowledge and stay current with the latest research and best practices to ensure her work remains both relevant and effective to her clients. If you're ready to explore the deeper aspects of your identity or heal from past experiences to enhance your quality of life, Leah is here to support you every step of the way.
