Dr. Leah Wilson Walker, PhD, LPC-S
About Me
I enjoy working with individual clients via EMDR &/or traditional talk therapy to address boundaries, negotiation of power in relationships, conflicts in intimacy and/or spirituality, shame, grief & loss, and those adjusting to a diagnosis of a chronic medical issue (as I am a Type-I diabetic and a 2x cancer survivor). I invite clients to consider how past relationships influence current relational patterns and how these often influence current mood regulation (anxiety and depression). I pursue this by offering EMDR therapy and helping my client a) grieve past pain and trauma, and b) focus on internal resources to help manage his/her greatest fears and unmet fantasies.
Lastly, I enjoy teaching graduate students at Texas State University and training LPC-Associates and Graduate Interns on how to integrate Christian faith within the therapy process here at New Life. Taking clients at our South location.
