Leah Kent, LPC

Licensed in: Connecticut
Licensed Mental Health Counselor With Vita Health
Years of Experience: 3 years

I am driven by a passion for guiding individuals toward healing, growth, and recovery. It is a privilege to witness your resilience in the face of adversity.

I take an evidence-based approach to therapy and possess extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, addressing a range of mental health challenges, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, familial or relational conflicts, stress management, and crisis intervention, including safety planning.
