She/Her

Janan Leya

RN, MSW, LCSW, LCAS

I am a master's-prepared nurse educator and psychotherapist. I enter the human experience through many doors — body, mind, soul, and spirit. This integrative lens allows me to meet you exactly where you are, honoring the wisdom of your whole being as we work together toward healing, balance, and wholeness.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

My work is grounded in a strengths-based, person-centered philosophy, and sessions typically last 50 to 55 minutes. I love promoting post-traumatic growth and freedom from entrenched patterns and difficult memories. My role is not to lead from the front, but to walk beside you — helping you grow, find stability during transitions, and discover peace amid life's competing demands. Together, we cultivate a space where you can release what no longer serves you, reconnect with your energy, clarify your path, and strengthen your sense of self. I have supported trauma survivors, individuals in addiction recovery, and those navigating oppression or seeking deeper authenticity and wholeness. I am passionate about people, their families, and the unique narratives that shape them. With a love for both learning and teaching, I honor the full range of the human experience — its beauty and joy, its sorrow and mystery, and the wisdom that emerges along the way.

FUN FACTS

I love to garden. I endeavor to see the Redwoods and Grand Canyon someday. I enjoy learning about diverse religions, spiritual beliefs, and practices.
