Leyla Richards (she/her) is a PHP therapist at Sanare Today. Leyla received her Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Rosemont College and is a Nationally Certified Counselor. She practices counseling from an integrative, client-centered lens with a focus on attachment and parts-work, using interventions such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and AEDP.

Leyla is passionate about helping her adult clients to feel empowered and increase their belief in themselves and their capabilities. She has worked with couples and individuals with a focus on parenting, relational issues, men’s mental health, persons who are incarcerated, and complex trauma. Leyla utilizes a strengths-based focus, humor, and mindfulness to highlight that every individual has all the tools they need already within them, and her role as the counselor is to help individuals feel confident to use their tools to overcome life’s obstacles.

Outside of her work in the therapy space, Leyla enjoys spending time with her partner (who is also a therapist!), her toddler human, and her senior dog.
