Leigh Sexton, LCPC — Therapist in Nevada

Hi there, I'm Leigh!

I work with families and individuals, including children and adolescents, navigating neurodiversity, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and holistic, supporting healing and resilience in those facing challenges like autism, ADHD, family separation, grief, and adoption.

My focus

I work with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, families navigating separation or reunification, and those processing grief or adoption experiences.

My approach

I use trauma-informed care and family systems counseling to support individuals with neurodiversity and their families. My work integrates compassion with evidence-based practices to help clients heal from acute and past trauma, navigate family dynamics, and build resilience.

My communication style

I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard. My style is warm, empathetic, and grounded in active listening. I tailor my approach to your needs—whether you need gentle presence, thoughtful reflection, or direct support—ensuring you feel empowered throughout your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a military family and currently support my disabled veteran father and mother. This experience deepened my commitment to serving families facing complex challenges and honoring each person's unique path toward healing.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and develop self-understanding. I focus on your strengths and values, supporting you in making meaningful change at your own pace while building the skills and insight needed for lasting growth.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals, challenges, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You'll leave with a sense of how we'll collaborate moving forward.
