Leona Pierce(She/Her/Hers)

Leona Pierce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to providing comprehensive mental health care to adults and young adults throughout the greater Philadelphia area utilizing an integrative approach with a foundation rooted in evidence-based treatment models including cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

Leona specializes in a holistic, integrative therapy approach, treating the whole person by recognizing and respecting the interconnection and interdependence between mind and body. Holistic therapy offers a refreshing perspective by focusing on the interconnectedness of mental & physical health, increasing insight, self-esteem & resiliency. Embracing the belief that the mind & body are deeply intertwined, this therapeutic approach provides a unique opportunity for true healing & transformation, improving relationships with others & gaining insight along the way. Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(TF-CBT) challenges distressing emotions, thoughts & behaviors tied to past trauma, aiming to separate the past from present. By addressing the impact trauma has upon the overall well-being we will find ways to stay rooted in today, allowing the pain of the past to dull & fade, making space for the light of a horizon tomorrow. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and other mindfulness practices have the potential to reveal insight & understanding in an unparalleled capacity. The insight we gain allows us to observe our reality, while also interrupting negative thought patterns and changing our futures for the better.

Leona is devoted to helping individuals unlock hidden potential and heal from the past, learning who they truly are, and what they truly need along the way.
