Leona Westra

I use an honest, empathetic, and collaborative style to help you explore, understand, and raise awareness of the underlying causes of your current challenges. I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and find healing for the wounds and struggles holding you back. I see myself as a compassionate witness and guide, helping you with your healing journey and finding ways to enhance your life. My lived experience of trauma, chronic pain, and emotional neglect helps to guide me as I apply the skills and knowledge I’ve developed over the years to help you and what you are dealing with. I am trained in multiple approaches that I can use to help you get more out of your life, such as EMDR, Flash Technique, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness. We can work together to figure out the right path forward to help you get where you want to be.
