Kate Leyva, Clinical Director and Mentor
Dedicated to supporting your success
After more than a decade in the field, I understand firsthand the pressures and challenges of building a therapy practice. From the demands of managing a full caseload to finding balance between professional and personal life, I’ve been through it all. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a practice where therapists feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
Over the years, I’ve seen the incredible impact therapists can have on a community, and I believe that nurturing new therapists is one of the most meaningful ways I can contribute. Through mentorship, I aim to help you grow into a confident, skilled practitioner who feels equipped to navigate the complexities of this work.
At Valley Oak Counseling, you’ll not only have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, but you’ll also have the guidance and tools to make a lasting difference—both in your career and in the lives of those you serve. Together, we can build a practice that reflects our shared commitment to supporting the well-being of our community.
