Luisa Leach, lmhc, cmhc, cpc
Hello and Welcome to Sea Star Counseling!
My name is Luisa, and I’m a licensed counselor in Massachusetts (Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC), New Hampshire (Clinical Mental Health Counselor - CCMH), and Maine (Clinical Professional Counselor - CPC).
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of providing counseling support to individuals of all ages, each facing a variety of mental health difficulties. My experience spans diverse settings such as inpatient and outpatient care, embedded within a military installation, and integrated within a pediatric primary care organization.
As a strengths-based counselor, I believe in collaborating with my clients to equip them with the tools they need to live the life they envision. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I adapt evidence-based interventions to suit the unique needs of each client.
I specialize in treating trauma and am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I have extensive experience working with clients involved with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) as well as the District Attorney’s office. In addition to trauma treatment, I also work with individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, anxiety, adoption, challenges unique to military life, family/relationship dynamics, stress, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults, and I believe in integrating families and support systems into the counseling process when appropriate.
