About Leah Petrucci

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, with over 7 years of Master's level counseling experience and a total of 20 years in the mental health and social work field. I have worked for many different types of organizations and learned various skills from both my professional and personal experiences. A few areas of special interests include Depressive/Bipolar Disorders, Anxiety/Phobia/OCD Disorders, Trauma Work/PTSD, Adjustment/Life Transition Issues, Relationship/Codependency Issues, Chronic Pain/Health Issues, LGBTQ Issues, Adult Child of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families work, Self Esteem/Self Love Issues, Binge Eating Disorder, and Divorce/Breakup Recovery, specifically from a Narcissistic or Addicted romantic partner/spouse. I also treat individuals who need recovery from an emotionally/verbally/physically/sexually abusive family member. I treat Substance Abuse issues after the client has completed a detox/inpatient/outpatient program to help maintain long term sobriety. I am also well versed in different 12 Step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families (ACA), and Celebrate Recovery. I use several different therapeutic approaches, since I don't believe in a "one size fits all" solution. Everyone has different needs, and I enjoy working with you to create specific treatment goals. In addition to the various treatment approaches listed on my profile, I do incorporate an overall Holistic approach, involving mind, body, and spirit . I am a Christian Counselor; however, I only incorporate your spiritual beliefs into the sessions to the extent you desire. For LGBTQ clients, I use an affirming approach, rather than condemning. I do not "straighten" anyone out. You do not have to be a Christian for me to work with you, as I respect everyone's desire or lack thereof to incorporate spirituality into the sessio
