Leah Ore (she, her, hers), LCSW
Leah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who specializes in working with prenatal and postpartum women, individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and those coping with the effects of trauma and disruption. Her approach to therapy is strength-based, feminist and anti-racist, guiding individuals to embrace and honor themselves. She also uses relational and attachment-based techniques to build trust, safety, and security that clients can take from their sessions into their lives and other relationships.
Leah grew up in Montana and holds a Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Montana and a Master’s in Social Work from Walla Walla University. In her clinical work, she utilizes a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Prenatal Birth and Attachment Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Bessel Van Der Kolk’s approach to Trauma Healing. She believes therapy can be beneficial to all people and that having a kind, unbiased, and nonjudgmental therapist can help individuals and families find their best selves and live their best lives.

Patrick Schuler (He, Him, His), LCSW, LAC
My counseling experiences over the years have been incredibly enriching and meaningful. I am continually moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings. Within these programs I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors.
My areas of specialty are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Systems Theory. I’m also a Licensed Addiction Counselor; this practice has provided me the opportunity to work with individuals struggling with substance abuse, ranging from inpatient treatment, to people who are just starting to question their substance use patterns. I believe deeply in the importance of developing a collaborative relationship with clients. Relationships built upon trust and respect are vital in working together to identify areas of concern, hone specific skills and achieve goals that are rooted in practical application.
