Leah Carvajal, LPC-S

My three day intensive was very enlightening and opened up some very needed insight into the problems in my life. Leah was very knowledgeable and helpful to walk me through what got me to where I am today and how to start working on the repairs I need. I am so thankful for my time spent with her!  –  John, age 47

Leah put me at ease and helped me relax. I think my intensive with her was worth every penny!  –  Erin, age 43

Hear from Leah: When you come to therapy, you’re wanting answers. You’re wanting a therapist to not only sit with you in the process, but someone who can clearly direct you through that process. I get all of that! This is one reason I pursued the advanced training of Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT). I work with all members of the family affected by sexual addiction or sexual betrayal trauma. My style is direct and supportive. My clients often reflect that they appreciate my straight-shooting way of communicating.

I love working with adult men and women facing all kinds of issues including: trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, unwanted sexual behavior, pornography addiction, sex and love addiction, betrayal trauma, codependence, affair recovery, spiritual issues, family of origin issues, postpartum issues, and more. I especially enjoy working with other therapists. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor  (LPC) and LAC Supervisor.

Group based therapy is an extremely impactful approach to treating unwanted sexual addiction.I lead a men’s sexual addiction recovery group , a women’s sex and love addiction recovery group, and a women’s betrayal trauma recovery group.

I draw from several theories of psychotherapy including family systems theories, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), brain based therapy, polyvagal theory, and attachment science. I use Brainspotting with clients when desired. I am also able to discuss issues from an explicitly Christian perspective if the client wishes.
