Cathryn Leff PhD
About
Many couples end up with hurt feelings because they don't know how to communicate effectively. At Soaring High Counseling we will teach you the communication skills you need to greatly improve your relationship.
Hello! I'm Dr. Cathryn Leff, LMFT and below you can read about my experience and background:
I received my B.A. degree in Psychology from UCLA; a M.A. degree in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine University, and a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health Policy and Practice from Northcentral University. I also have a PhD (ABD) in International Psychology with a concentration in Trauma Response from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1996 (LMFT 33119).
Previously, I worked for UCLA's Career Counseling Center as a Psychometrist, and as a social worker for the Department of Children and Family Services. Additionally, I worked as a Children's Mental Health Clinician for San Diego County Children's Mental Health.
Following my work with children, I conducted Psychiatric Evaluations for the Emergency Department at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, and at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center as an Emergency Department Patient Liaison/Analyst.
More recently, I worked as the Director of Family Services for a Native American Tribe, and as a Wraparound Clinical Program Manager for foster children at a nonprofit.
I have also maintained a private practice since 1996, previously in Laguna Hills, CA and have been practicing in Temecula since 2004. I specialize in marriage/couple therapy, family therapy, trauma, self-harm in teens, and parenting.
I work from my private home office (with a separate entrance) at the end of a cul-de-sac in the beautiful community of Harveston. This set-up maximizes your privacy, and enables you to feel comfortable and safe in a home-type environment...Many clients have shared with me they appreciate this environment because they don't have to enter a office where they may be seen and recognized...but if you prefer, I also offer online counseling in the State of California.
