Breaking Cycles, Building Compassion

Individual & Couples Therapy to Repair Your Relationship to Your Self and Others— Serving Marin, San Francisco Bay Area and California

Welcome.  I'm glad you are here.

​There are seasons in life when old ways no longer fit, when something within us longs for change.  My work with clients is an invitation—to listen closely, to turn inward, and to discover what patterns no longer serve us and discover what wants to emerge in their place. In my work with clients, I will explore, collaborate, support, and gently push.  Are you ready?

​

If you would like to work with me or learn more, please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what our working together could look like.

Kate Leffel, LMFT

A little about me...

I am an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist based in Marin County, CA.  I'm also a parent,  a partner, and a curious seeker. 

 

I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, and coaching for clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression relationship conflict, grief, trauma, family of origin conflict and exploration, and disordered eating & body image struggles. My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, blending depth-oriented exploration with practical tools for change.
