ABOUT

Hi and welcome to my site!
​
I'm Leigh Conant, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a specialty in couples therapy.
My passion is to help couples create stronger connections and healthier relationships.
Additionally, I work with individuals assisting you in building the relationships you long for, whether it's your intimate or dating relationships, friendships, at work, with extended family, or with your inner self.
In my work, I come alongside your journey as a couple or individual expanding your capacity to understanding yourself and your patterns, manage life stressors, work through stress and trauma, and enhance resiliency. I also have extensive experience working with the military community.
​
I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) and Supervisor, providing EFT to couples, individuals and families; and supervising clinicians who are learning the EFT model.
I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).
​
I earned my master’s of science degree from Virginia Tech’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program and am licensed in the state of Virginia, North Carolina and Louisiana. I am an avid runner, biker, hiker, have a deep love for golden retrievers, and am a military spouse (married to a Marine!)
