MISHA LEIGH WELLNESS COUNSELING

Welcome! 

 

​

 I specialize in helping people listen to and care for their bodies with gentleness and understanding so they can form more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

​​

My work is to create a connection of safety with you so that you can explore what your body might be saying and needing, and to find

personalized and effective ways to respond to that. 

 

In addition to wellness counseling, I also have certifications and training in navigating body image struggles, somatic regulation, applied positive psychology, grief and anxiety, adolescence, parent-teen relationships, recovery from disordered eating, self-compassion and mindfulness, new parenthood, and other major life transitions. I am trauma-informed and client-directed, and my underlying emphasis in my work is in how our nervous systems influence our sense of safety and thereby our ability to connect with ourselves and others. I work from a strengths-based, positive psychology paradigm - meaning I look for the beauty and strengths in who you are, and help you build on that foundation.  For more information, please go here. 

​

I meet with many of my clients online, allowing them flexibility and convenience in scheduling appointments, as well as in person for those on the Oregon Coast. Additionally, I offer consulting and mentoring for those in established practices. I am also passionate about working with wrap-around care - meaning that I facilitate or participate with a team that surrounds a person with various areas of specialized care to offer more support for effective outcomes.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
