Leila Anderson, LMFT-S is a therapist, supervisor, and speaker with a decade of experience helping individuals navigate mental health challenges, addiction, and the complexities of life in the world today. From hospitals and private practice to treatment centers and correctional facilities, Leila’s career has been rooted in creating space for healing and transformation. In her clinical work, she blends innovative therapy techniques with the timeless practices that foster lasting change.

Leila specializes in working with grief and spiritual trauma, bringing compassion and curiosity to each therapeutic encounter. At home, she’s a proud mom of three, married to her favorite hiking partner, and always ready for an adventure—whether it’s tackling a challenging puzzle, nurturing her garden, or exploring Austin’s trails.
