Kat Leighton LISW-CP, ADC

Hi, I'm Kat! I became a therapist because I have been a client, and the healing I experienced in therapy changed my life.  I truly care about my clients and I consider it an incredible privilege to be a part of someone's healing and growth! 

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from College of Charleston and my Master of Social Work degree from University of South Carolina, where I concentrated in health/mental health. 

When studying social work, I learned about mental health, of course, but also how factors like community, culture, family, politics, economics, marginalized identities, and privilege impact health and mental health. This knowledge informs my approach in therapy. 

I believe that my clients are not just floating brains, so I don't treat them as such! I believe that each individual is a whole person - body, mind, spirit, and experiences - and deserve to be seen for their strengths, not just their challenges.

If you're looking for a therapist who...

• will take her time understanding you and your situation
• thinks outside-the-box
• provides truly individualized treatment to help clients meet their goals
• is flexible in terms of strategy and scheduling
