Rebecca LeaderCounselor, MS, LMHC (she, her)
Sarasota, FL 34236
About
I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the complex adjustments of pregnancy and postpartum life. I also work with couples, particularly those struggling to reconnect and adapt to the demands of parenting. As a licensed mental health counselor and certified school counselor with over 20 years of experience, my background in both school counseling and mental health has allowed me to support individuals through a wide range of life transitions and emotional challenges. I bring a warm, empathetic, and holistic approach to my work with teens, adults, and couples. My therapeutic style is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Person-Centered therapy. These methods allow me to tailor support to each client's unique needs while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and sustainable personal growth.
