Welcome and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I'm sure by this point, finding the courage and motivation to begin the search for the best therapeutic fit has been an uphill process, however, I'd like to take this moment together to acknowledge the determination and resilience you've shown thus far in order to begin your therapeutic journey.

People enter therapy at all levels of readiness for change. While some people are ready for immediate change, others need time to process their readiness. Ambivalence is understandable in a client's journey. My non-judgmental approach helps clients explore potential barriers to change in order to help them make positive life choices. The therapeutic alliance is absolutely central to the work that is done and the outcomes that are achieved. I create an environment that allows safety, promotes a sense of compassion and empathy and fosters trust. When the therapeutic relationship is strong, clients are empowered to work towards change.

I am a clinical psychologist and I provide individual, couples and group therapy to young adults and adults. I also received my credentialing as a Diplomate in Comprehensive Energy Psychology (DCEP) in 2017 and I have been training and working in the area of Energy Psychology since 2012.

Leiza Stanley believes in the power of relationship. Through the use of the therapeutic relationship she aims to achieve what is referred to as a corrective experience. A positive corrective experience is achieved when the therapist and client together resolve emotional pain. Leiza's treatment approach is rooted in the philosophy that therapy is about claiming or reclaiming your authentic self, and is provided with genuine warmth, understanding, and validation.

In life, it's easy to stay on autopilot. While there are times when being on autopilot works for us, there are other times when it doesn't. Through years of studying and practicing psychotherapy, I have become highly skilled at helping my patients to stop living on autopilot, and, instead, to start making CHOICES. Psychotherapy is a process of getting incrementally more honest with yourself. As therapy unfolds and you begin to know yourself more deeply, you can start to examine whether you are living the life you want, and if not, how you want it to change.

I specialize in helping couples and individuals develop "connection" in their marriages and relationships. To illustrate, your partner seems "distant" lately- so you seek reassurance. Instead of providing comfort, he or she "pulls away" in anticipation of triggering an argument. In turn, your insecurity grows yet bigger. Over time, the more one mate seeks "closeness," the more the other "distances." Partners become "stuck" in painful "circles" such as "Pursue-Withdraw." Both are hurt by each others "criticism" or "coldness"- and unintentionally trigger their mates' invisible "raw spots." Even if identified, "vulnerabilities" are difficult to discuss constructively without a "translator" (therapist).

I believe an important part of the therapy process is developing a flexible and collaborative relationship in which the client feels safe to explore, understand, and change relationships and behaviors, so that he or she may grow in a satisfying, creative, and life enhancing way. I have worked as a clinician for over twenty years and maintain a general practice for adults, families and children.

There are so many of us in this world who are hurting and broken. I believe that you have the right to be heard. You deserve a safe place to share your thoughts, feelings and situations that are causing you pain. All of us have different reasons for pain; anxiety, depression, fear, broken relationships and so many more.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful and transformative experience. I believe that psychological healing occurs within the relationship between patient and therapist. Together we will seek to explore and understand your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions, with the goal of helping you experience your world in a new way.

The decision to enter psychotherapy can be difficult. Most of us would like to think we can solve our problems on our own, or at least with the help of friends and family. If you are looking for a therapist, chances are you have already tried doing just that, possibly with great effort over a long time, and are feeling discouraged about the result. The problems may be new or all too familiar. Therapy can help with two levels of concern: at a practical level, what to do to cope? at an underlying level, what to do to heal?

At The Growth and Recovery Center, we believe that everyone can improve their lives. We assist this process through support, insight, and direction.

I have helped individuals struggling with a wide variety of issues such as: ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief and loss, identity issues, marital difficulties, trauma, and communication skills. I've worked with children, tweens, teens, young adults and individuals approaching retirement. It is an amazing privilege to be a part of the transformation that happens when a client truly begins to feel comfortable in his or her own skin and lives the life he or she desires.

The difficult experiences one has in life can serve as the very reason one can be extraordinary. These challenges can make one feel as if they are alone in a confusing and sometimes overwhelming journey. We would be honored to have the opportunity to assist you in moving through challenge without judgement and with a sensitivity to your individuality.

As a clinical licensed social worker, I offer individual, family and couples therapy to those struggling with a range of stressors. I specialize in treating mood disorders, eating disorders and relationship issues. I find that the best way to help is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where exploration of emotions and feelings are encouraged and accepted.

Do you ever wonder, "Why do I remember an event from long ago so vividly and still get upset?" Or "Why do I behave that way? That's not like me". Our behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and emotions are not random and meaningless, but hold important information that guides us through life. We all have experienced events that we would rather not think about again, but unfortunately, those are often the memories, body sensations, and emotions that inform who we love, how we parent, or even where we work.
