I am passionate about supporting people affected by life's curveballs, specifically chronic pain or illness. In therapy, I generate an open, attentive space where you can be authentically yourself. I've seen the box many people are placed in concerning a diagnosis of OCD; there are no boxes here. Supporting and amplifying the voices of individuals with complex needs will always be my priority. My other specialties include depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, women's issues, ADHD, and trauma. I bring my neurodivergent, chronically ill, and PTSD identities to this work.

Why our members love working with Leigh
J.C.
I just wanted to say thank you to Leigh Joyner who has and continues to be an amazing therapist. I’ve dumped my troubles, struggles, questions, etc. on her and she continuously helps me to find meaningful resolutions that make sense and work. Thank you so much Leigh for being a compassionate and understanding therapist. Thank you for inspiring me to be self compassionate, to hold on to my wins more than i do my failures, and allow myself to be exposed to my fears so I can work through them, rather than avoiding them. Thank you for listening and providing feedback and techniques i can use to get a little better every day. Thank you for being awesome!

I am very fortunate to be part of this platform, with all of these wonderful people who have compassion for each others struggles. I am most appreciative for having such an awesome therapist who helps me see things i could not see on my own, to do my everyday in a way that i can be proud of and grow from, and to practice meaningful self compassion. Prior to therapy, self compassion was an unobtainable dream, wrought with negativity and self loathing. I’m understanding it more and more everyday and practicing it just the same. I cannot express how much i appreciate this app and Leigh as my therapist, but given what i know about this platform and its people, i think you may know exactly what i mean. Thank you so much Leigh for always giving a listening ear, a wise and compassionate heart, and allowing me the space to effectively grow as a positive and purposeful human being. It makes all the difference💯🥹.

I feel like Leigh really listen to what I was saying and how I was feeling. She explained to me that PTSD can cross over into OCD territory and made me feel like maybe what happened wasn’t my fault. I have a lot of hope that I will be able to heal.
