Testimonials

“I saw Leisha for a brief period of crisis last year. She creates an incredibly safe space with such a loving presence that it is easy to tap into, in such a simple way, what is deeply there. I’m so grateful for the work I did with her and take comfort in knowing I can always revisit “the sanctuary.”
LK, Acupuncturist

“Working with Leisha I feel a wonderful sense of comfort and ease, I liked her
sensitivity to not only my words but my body movements.
It is a very safe place for me, I feel like I can say anything and have no fear
of being judged. It's worked well for me that Leisha has a great understanding of both eastern
and western philosophy and practices.”

"I felt that I was heading towards what seemed like an inevitable trip to divorce court when I contacted Dr. Douglas. Her ability to listen and reflect my thoughts non-judgementally and then suggest concrete actions or conversations to have with my wife helped me immensely. Dr. Douglas’s clear communication gave me the courage to tread on ground with my wife that I had been afraid to explore. The results, especially given the very short amount of time we worked together, were nearly miraculous. I realized that I had projected so much I created a myth that wasn't fair or correct and ultimately I was able to rediscover the woman I loved.  Generally, I've become more willing to bring this attitude and honesty into my life especially when dealing with other important people such as my children and siblings."

“When I first came to Leisha Douglas, I was like a frightened child, quivering in a corner. I had already worked with many therapists and psychiatrists, but Dr. Douglas's genius was to know precisely when I was ready to hear a new truth or take on a new challenge. She restored my sense of self and my ability to trust. Furthermore Leisha skillfully integrated our work with my twelve-step AA program, which had not been the case with previous therapists. She is also adept at bringing her Buddhist practice to bear on the therapeutic work in an enlightening way. To give an example of her devotion, generosity, and caring: when I was unable to walk, after a surgery, she agreed to come to my home for sessions. One of her greatest gifts was to teach me to take myself seriously as an artist. We terminated our work together a couple of years ago and I am happier than ever in my life, having internalized Leisha's wisdom and methods. I miss her warmth and humor, so every now and then I go back for another healing dose of her presence in my life.”
