LEAH BOGUSCH, PhD

I am Leah Bogusch, a clinical psychologist, and I enjoy working with people with anxiety disorders, especially social anxiety, OCD, and insomnia impacted by anxiety. I also have an interest in working with people living with chronic pain and/or illness. I enjoy and have experience working with POC and gender-diverse people and use a culturally-informed approach in my work. I use evidence-based interventions to manage anxiety so you can take steps to live your life fully and confidently. I take a very collaborative approach, and my goals as a therapist are to provide an environment where you can feel heard and understood and build the skills you need to meet your goals. When suffering builds up, it can keep us from living the life that we want to live. For me, mental health is not only about reducing suffering, but also about building a rich, meaningful life. Seeing people grow in this way is my favorite part of being a therapist. I look forward to hearing what a meaningful life looks like to you!
