Psychotherapy Services
I offer individual therapy through telehealth for women 18+ in Virginia. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions/adjustments, and relationship concerns as well as faith-based counseling. ​​
I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship formed between client and therapist. Through a compassionate, accepting alliance, a safe environment is created in which clients can openly share, examine, and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of criticism or chastisement.
I personalize the therapy process based on the client, her needs, and her strengths. Initially we will explore and unpack the difficulties and concerns to be addressed utilizing a client-centered, trauma informed approach. Based on the individualized treatment goals, we will work to expand awareness and insight, build skills, change unhelpful patterns, and shift perspectives incorporating techniques from a variety of treatment modalities which may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among others. Additionally, I provide faith-based counseling for those who wish to integrate their Christian faith into the treatment process. As treatment progresses, we will evaluate progress to ensure goals are being met.​​

Please be aware that I do not provide assessments for disability or fitness for duty, nor do I provide expert witness testimony in court.

About
Marnie Leadman, M.Ed., LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 13+ years of experience. I hold a Master of Education in Community Counseling from The College of William and Mary. Currently I am completing a Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Formation from Regent University. I have worked with a diverse population from youth to older adults in various settings to include outpatient, residential, and primary care. ​
​
I am often asked what motivated me to become a therapist. During a dark time in my life, I sought out therapy and encountered first-hand the power of having a safe place to process my pain and suffering. After a positive and transformative experience, I felt inspired to devote my life to helping others facing adversity and woundedness. Walking alongside clients as they work towards growth and wholeness is a deeply fulfilling and humbling process.
