About Dr. Leoni
My approach to psychotherapy is supportive, goal-oriented, and empathic. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each client and work to cultivate a safe and supportive relationship in which my clients feel heard and respected. I assist clients in exploring unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that are preventing them from living the life they want. By combining the most effective interventions grounded in scientific research with a strengths-based approach that emphasizes each person’s positive qualities, I work together with my clients to achieve their therapy goals. My hope is to provide clients with a deeper understanding of ways in which unhelpful patterns have been developed and maintained as well as concrete skills for addressing these concerns. My hope is that each client leaves therapy with a stronger sense of confidence in their ability to tackle future obstacles and challenges.

Education and Training
I earned my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP), an APA-accredited program in San Francisco and my undergraduate degree in Child Development and Psychology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA. During my graduate training, I worked at an intensive outpatient adult chemical dependency program and various community mental health centers.

Before beginning graduate school, I held various positions at a residential treatment facility in Marin County.
