Perry Leynor LPC

My approach is centered on helping clients develop the skills they need to navigate life's challenges and engage in their values. I believe that clients are the ultimate experts in their own experiences and that my role is to support them in building greater self-awareness and insight. My ultimate goal is to empower clients to become their own therapists by providing them with the tools and insights they need to make positive changes in their lives. In therapy, I work with clients to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness about their behaviors and relationships. By raising awareness about negative thought patterns and unhealthy coping strategies, clients can learn to identify and challenge them on their own. Through this process, clients become more equipped to take control of their own mental health and navigate life's challenges with greater ease and resilience. My hope is that by working together, clients can cultivate the skills and insights they need to live a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in evidence-based therapy, utilizing a variety of methods and tools to help clients navigate challenges and achieve their goals. I am trained in exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety disorders, cognitive-behavioral therapy for identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns, and mindfulness-based interventions for greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. Additionally, I incorporate techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients move towards valued life goals, and clinical behavior analysis approaches to identify and modify problematic behaviors and develop positive habits and routines. My goal is to help clients increase their options and find what works best for them.
