Beth Leonard

I take seriously the privilege of journeying with clients through the process of healing. My desire is to create a safe place to heal and grow in an environment where you feel honored and respected, have space to process life issues and relationships, and to determine and work toward your goals. 

My life motto is: “Don’t waste your pain.” In life, pain is inevitable. The many ways we try to push it away, anesthetize it, or avoid it can further wound us and cause damage to us and our relationships. But when we allow it, pain can be a powerful tool in the Father’s hand for change and growth.

I specialize in treating trauma and working with those who feel voiceless and struggle with codependency. I love helping individuals find greater meaning and purpose in life, and couples at all stages (dating, pre-engagement, engagement, marriage, divorce, and remarriage) develop greater intimacy in all aspects of their relationships. Specific sex therapy issues I address include trauma, sexual/physical abuse, desire disorders, mismatched desire in couples, female sexual pain and recovery from the impact of sexual addiction/betrayal. 

I am a member of the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists (AAMFT) and The Southeast Brainspotting Institute (SEBI). I’m also an AAMFT-approved supervisor. I am certified in Brainspotting and PREPARE/ENRICH for premarital couples. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sand Tray, Trauma-Focused Art Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work with adults ages 18 years of age and older.
