Leanne is fantastic. She takes a whole-person approach, including mental health in her therapy. She is natural at what she does, and will meet your needs, wherever you are. As a home health provider, she is flexible and understanding of your space, which luckily for me, includes tolerating my 3 dogs during therapy. She does a great job of balancing gentle care with challenging you to meet your personal goals.
