Introduction

My name is Leah Sanders, and I am the Lead Clinician at Cheerful Transformations LLC. As a psychotherapist specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and families develop the skills and insight needed to navigate life’s challenges with resilience. I believe every young person has the capacity for growth, and I work to create a safe, collaborative, and validating environment where that growth can thrive. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to each client’s strengths, cultural background, and developmental needs.
