About Kathryn Leonard (They/Them)

Kathryn Leonard, LCSW, offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults and seniors, creating a space of acceptance, collaboration, and meaningful change. With over 20 years of experience, Kate helps individuals navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, personality disorders, cognitive and intellectual disabilities, aging-related concerns, chronic pain, and complex medical issues. She also works with clients who have criminal backgrounds and, more recently, those managing ADHD, ADD, and OCD.

Kate’s approach integrates proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also brings a strong background in case management and medical social work, which enhances her ability to support clients through complex life situations.

Outside the therapy room, Kate enjoys walking in nature, traveling, and spending time with her family.
