About Dr. Leoni

My approach to psychotherapy is supportive, goal-oriented, and empathic. I aim to tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each client as well as 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. With this approach, I hope 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, CA. During my graduate training, I worked at an intensive outpatient adult chemical dependency program and various community mental health centers. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at University of the Pacific Counseling and Psychological Services. Before beginning graduate school, I held various positions at a residential treatment facility for adolescent males in San Rafael, CA. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Child Development and Psychology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
