Leela Suah
LGSW, LMSW
Therapist
(she/her)
As humans, we all want to feel seen, heard, and accepted just as we are. As a second-generation Liberian immigrant, I know how challenging it can feel to balance your cultural identity, family expectations, and your own dreams – all while trying to build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Why Leela?
I believe that every person deserves to be affirmed in every one of their identities. I use an intersectional approach that honors your unique lived experiences and allows you to show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re navigating a big life transition, feeling stuck, or trying to rediscover who you really are, I’m here to help!
Together, we will tap into your strengths and overcome the barriers standing in the way of becoming the most confident, authentic version of yourself.

Therapeutic Approach
My approach is holistic, creative, collaborative, and compassionate. I prioritize on the alignment of body, mind, and soul because growth comes from all parts of you. Therapy with me isn’t cookie-cutter—it’s designed to fit who you are and what you need. You’re the expert of your own life, and I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you create achievable goals and break through mental roadblocks while meeting you where you are with understanding and genuine care.
I like to think of healing as tending to your own inner garden. We all have one—a space inside us that just needs the right care and attention to flourish. In therapy, we’ll work together to clear out the weeds (hello, unhelpful patterns!) and nurture your seeds of growth, helping you bloom into your fullest, most vibrant self.
