OUR TEAM

Britta Leffler

Therapist, CA AMFT #137852

Britta Leffler, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT#137852) with an MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, has been working with clients therapeutically since 2020. “I aim to support clients from a culturally competent lens, with a firm understanding of not only the interpersonal but the systemic conditions that lead to mental and physical health suffering. I understand how marginalization and oppression lead to stressors such as economic instability, social isolation, discrimination, and erasure - all of which harm mental and physical health. Within the therapeutic container, it is my goal to be a collaborator in affirming a client on their journey to connecting with their most authentic self.”

  • Britta aims to support radical healing and integration, and her background includes working as a clinician in both community health settings and private practice, offering individual, family, and group therapy. Her unique approach to therapy is rooted in both psychodynamic and somatic modalities, weaving various styles together to enable clients to fully identify and move through unresolved trauma to experience authentic healing and sustainable change.

Laura Solomon

Therapist, EMDR, ASW #119861

As a trauma specialist, Laura Solomon supports her clients on their journey to healing by providing a non-judgmental, supportive space for her clients to process feelings. She is committed to providing an inclusive and affirming environment for all. She provides a safe, brave space for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially those who are fluid, questioning, or unsure of how they may identify. 

Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable exploring personal content is a crucial part of the process. Her approach is intersectional feminist, sex-positive, and asexual-affirming, ensuring that therapy respects and honors each client’s unique identity and experiences, meeting them exactly where they’re at. She utilizes an eclectic blend of therapeutic tools, such as EMDR, Sex Therapy, Parts Work, Mindfulness practices, and Somatic Therapy, tailored to meet your specific needs.  

  • Are you feeling raw, overwhelmed, or intensely sensitive to triggers from your past? Do you find yourself reacting strongly to seemingly small events, feeling trapped in cycles of fear, anxiety, or sadness? Do you experience overwhelming emotions that seem disproportionate to the situation? Are there specific triggers that bring you back to painful memories, making you feel as if you're reliving them?

    These reactions are common among those who have experienced trauma, and they are your mind and body’s way of protecting you. Childhood trauma can leave profound scars, shaping how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. If any of these resonate with you, it’s important to acknowledge your pain and understand that these responses are not your fault and you are not alone. They are the echoes of a past where you had to adapt to survive.

    The decision to seek therapy is a courageous one, especially when dealing with the raw wounds of childhood trauma. It’s a step towards acknowledging your pain and committing to your healing. If you feel ready to embark on this journey, I am here to walk alongside you, providing guidance, support, and compassion. CONTACT me today to hear more about me, my approach, or any of these modalities. Or, you can schedule a  FREE 20-MINUTE CONSULTATION here.
