Karolyn “Kari” Leonard

As a marriage and family therapist,  I believe healing and growth happen within the context of a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences openly. My approach is integrative and holistic, recognizing the connection between emotional, relational, and personal well-being while supporting clients in creating meaningful and lasting change.

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, including supporting emotional regulation, confidence building, and navigating life transitions and challenges. I also enjoy working with adults, couples, and families of all ages. When working with younger clients, I incorporate play and art therapy techniques to help foster self-expression, communication, and emotional growth in developmentally supportive ways.

I view therapy as a collaborative process tailored to each individual’s unique needs and strengths. Whether clients are seeking support for anxiety, self-esteem, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, or personal growth, I work alongside them with sensitivity, curiosity, and care to help them build insight, resilience, and a stronger connection to themselves and others.
