Resilience Family Therapy Ventura
Counseling for kids, teens, young adults & their parents
What is RESILIENCE? And why did I choose that word for the name of our practice? The definition of resilience is “the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.” When I think about what I want this practice to accomplish for you or your child, that really sums it up. I want us to help you recover quickly from whatever is holding you back or causing you pain, while helping you discover your strengths and build the resilience to adapt and cope with challenges in the future.
Life is hard! And it can be even harder when there is a traumatic event in your past or present. Maybe it’s an unhealthy relationship, some kind of abuse, addiction, maybe you’re struggling in school or not where you thought you’d be in life or maybe you are your worst enemy! Pain and circumstances can paralyze us and keep us from seeing our potential or make it feel impossible to go on. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances but empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way. How incredible is that?! Circumstances that threatened to defeat us can now become catalysts of change to make us better. That is what therapy is all about.

Hi, I’m Leah.
I’m so glad you’re here! I founded Resilience Family Therapy because I believe kids, teens, young adults and families deserve therapy that is skilled, compassionate, genuine, and tailored to the person sitting in front of us.
After more than 25 years working with children, teens and families, I’ve had the privilege of watching people move through incredibly difficult circumstances, discover strengths they didn’t know they had, and begin to feel hopeful again. That belief in our ability to adapt, heal and grow is at the heart of Resilience Family Therapy and it continues to shape the practice as we’ve grown.
I’m incredibly proud of the practice we’ve built and the therapists who are part of it. Whether you’re looking for support for your child or teen, navigating something difficult as a family, or looking for therapy for yourself as a young adult, we’re glad you found us.
