Leigh Irvin
Licensed Professional Counselor
Mental Health Service Provider
For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a wide range of settings. Throughout my career, I’ve helped individuals navigate the ups and downs of life, supporting those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. For the past decade, I’ve worked in private practice, where I’ve been able to offer a more personalized and connected approach to care.
What I enjoy most about this work is building real, meaningful relationships with my clients. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one that’s guided by your goals, your pace, and your story. My style is warm, practical, and down-to-earth. I’m here to listen without judgment, offer perspective, and support you in finding more clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
I’m especially passionate about working with individuals and families during times of change and uncertainty. It's a privilege to support people as they find strength in their struggles and reconnect with what matters most to them.
Outside of my work, I find balance and joy in the outdoors. I love spending time with my son—whether we're camping under the stars, hiking through the woods, or kayaking on a quiet lake. Nature helps me stay grounded and reminds me of the importance of presence, connection, and simple moments.
If you’re considering counseling, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
