Leah Behl, Ph.D., LLC

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Panic, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, etc.). I am especially well trained in the treatment of childhood and adult traumas (rape, domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical assault, witnessing a violent crime etc.). I have successfully treated adult and child victims of trauma for over a decade. Being able to help an individual take the daily re-experiencing of the trauma they have experienced and turn it into a bad memory they can leave in the past is a very rewarding experience for me. Children who have experienced trauma and major life transitions (divorce, adoption, death of a caretaker etc.) is another area in which I specialize. This work has given me a good deal of experience successfully helping families of children who have emotional and behavioral difficulties. Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs to do even in good circumstances. Guiding children through difficult times can often be a challenging experience even for the best of parents. Having the support and guidance of a good therapist through these times can be invaluable to the healing and adjustment of children.
