I’m Leeann Soyka (she/her), NCC, LGPC, a mental health counselor at Georgetown Psychology. I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, and specialize in working with college students and graduate students. I am passionate about helping clients explore their values, develop deeper self-understanding, and collaboratively create strategies to achieve lasting change.

I strive to create a safe and supportive space for clients where they feel understood, respected, and empowered to explore their identities and experiences. I believe that establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is a mechanism for change and healing in therapy. My approach is client-centered, meaning that I view clients as experts in their own lives and foster curiosity and collaboration in the therapy sessions. Additionally, my therapeutic approach is grounded in implementing evidence-based interventions from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Experiencing Therapy.
