Kimberly Leak

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I've spent my career working with people who are dealing with some of life's hardest circumstances — trauma, addiction, domestic violence, grief, chronic illness, and the day-to-day weight of anxiety and depression that doesn't announce itself. I bring both clinical training and real compassion to that work.

As a Black female therapist, I'm especially attuned to the cultural context that shapes how we experience stress, seek help, and heal. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, BPD, domestic violence, and substance use, and I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors across Connecticut.

My approach is practical and trauma-informed — I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. You've already taken a step by being here. We can take the next ones together.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth. As a therapist over the last 13 years I have worked with a wide variety of people as an advocate and an ally in helping them heal and grow through the therapy process. Beginning to look for a therapist can bring on anxiety, but know that taking this step is already a major sign of growth. I help work through the chaos inside one's head to identify what are the actual causes of anxiety, stress, and depression.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.


I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

You deserve a space to reflect, process, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're grappling with uncertainty, grief, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and authenticity. If you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others, I would be honored to support you.
