Leah Finn, LMFT

Leah Finn is a marriage and family therapist licensed in California who offers a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy. She creates a warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental space where people can explore fears, concerns, and the changes they want to make in their lives. Her practice supports individuals and families working through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, addiction, and a wide range of life transitions and stressors.

Leah draws on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside humanistic, narrative, solution-focused, and psychodynamic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. She places emphasis on cultural awareness and anti-oppression perspectives, shaped in part by earlier work as a community organizer focused on social, racial, and economic justice. In 2018 she founded Healing Solutions Psychotherapy to provide thoughtful, client-centered care.

Leah holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and practices as an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She has additional training as a certified domestic violence counselor with 48 hours of LGBT-specialized training and specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, polyamorous people, and members of the kink and BDSM communities. Her work is tailored to each client with empathy, respect, and sensitivity to the complexities of identity and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Leah commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current feelings and behavior, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals, creating space for people to explore identity, values, and life choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge. The collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support from different locations.
