20+ Years of Cultivating Hope Through Change
Hello, I’m Dr. Leah Barreca
There are times in life when something shifts - quietly or all at once - and the way you’ve always managed no longer works.
You’re still functioning. Still showing up. But underneath, something feels off: you’re more anxious, more reactive, more exhausted, or caught in a cycle of overthinking that you can’t seem to turn off.
Maybe it’s anxiety that has become harder to manage, burnout that has built gradually over time, OCD or intrusive thoughts, ADHD challenges, or a life transition that has left you feeling uncertain about what comes next.
I work with people in these in-between spaces, the moments when life has changed, but clarity hasn’t caught up yet. As a clinical psychologist specializing in Health Service Psychology, I use evidence-based CBT to help clients understand what’s happening and, more importantly, change the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
Together, we identify what needs to change, what strengths you can build on, and what can move you forward. The goal isn't simply to cope. It's to regain a sense of direction, agency, and well-being.
The people I work with are navigating:
Anxiety: Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic, Overthinking, and Worry
Chronic stress and burnout: Workplace Burnout, High-Demand Careers, Chronic Stress, and Caregiving Fatigue
OCD and Intrusive Thoughts: Obsessions and Compulsions, Intrusive Thoughts, and Obsessive Rumination
Life Transitions: Adjustment Stress, Career and Role Changes, and Unexpected or Unwanted Changes
Adult ADHD: Executive Functioning, Emotion Regulation, Impulsivity, and Related Challenges
Depressive Anxiety: Depression with Anxiety, Stress-Related Depression, and Adjustment with Anxiety and Depression
Collaborative. Active. Supportive. Change.
