Leann Vaterlaus, LMSW

About Leann

Leann is a wife, mother, and grandmother whose own lifetime of good and hard experiences lets her connect with a wide range of people and challenges. She's warm and caring in the room, and direct enough to get to the heart of what's going on. She thinks of counseling as an adjustment in our thinking and functioning that all of us need from time to time.

She pairs "top-down" approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with "body-up" approaches like Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, somatic work, EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a fast-acting method for trauma that keeps resurfacing. Leann is certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Certified Mood Disorders Professional, and an ADHD Clinical Services Provider.
