Leah Parisian, LCSW

Certified Body Trust® Provider

Ethical Statement

My mission is to offer you a path to feeling whole and embodied.

​

You are your own best expert! I provide psychotherapeutic services, and as your guide, I use my expertise to validate your experiences and hold space, and act as a catalyst to help you bring change in thoughts and behaviors you find are no longer serving you. I believe in your inherent strength and abilities and have respect for all that has led you to this very moment in seeking support.

​

My ethical principles are rooted in social justice with a foundation in Health At Every Size® (HAES) principles, the Association for Size Diversity And Health (ASDAH) guiding values, Body Trust®, Harm Reduction, and National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Ethics. As with many who enter therapeutic professions, my education in clinical social work was centered in psychodynamic theory and its offshoots, however I have worked diligently to align my practice to truly reflect ethical principles of social justice, the above-noted organizations and areas of study, and will continue to work to do so. My clinical approach is based in post-modernist values that are respectful and center your experience, knowledge, and strengths.

​

You are worthy! I believe that all people and bodies are worthy and celebrate people of all sizes, genders, races, and ability.

​

You deserve space for your story and experiences. That space includes awareness of how my intersectional identities inform my life-perspective and clinical work. I am dedicated to the principle of humility, acknowledging mistakes, correcting course, and doing better.

​

Equity Pricing

In line with my ethical foundations and commitment to social justice, I recognize the economic impacts of oppression, and thus offer equity pricing. Those who can pay full price create capacity for more people to receive services at Equity Pricing rates.

​

Commitment

I stand by an ongoing commitment to learning and improving in my therapeutic practice to uphold the ethical principles set forth above. 

​

WELCOME!
