About
I believe mental health is a meaningful journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it with steadiness, support, and compassion.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral challenges, and women’s mental health. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on helping clients build clarity, confidence, and resilience in their daily lives.
I earned my doctorate in nursing from Walden University and have extensive experience providing individualized care across diverse clinical settings. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.
I believe healing starts with awareness and grows through intentional, supported change. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and compassion. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—restoring calm, clarity, and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.

I am a trauma‑informed LPC, QMHP‑C who shows up with warmth, steadiness, and genuine care, inviting you into a space where you can slow down, feel truly seen, and make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels safe and human — an approach shaped by years of walking alongside people in moments of transition, vulnerability, and growth.
I'm Leah Perkins, an LPC, QMHP‑C with experience in community mental health, residential care, and reentry support. I work with adults navigating trauma, overwhelm, and major life transitions, offering a steady, compassionate space where they can reconnect with their strengths, rediscover what’s possible, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who they want to be.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients build clarity, resilience, and self‑trust. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, focusing on grounding, healing old patterns, and creating meaningful shifts that support a more connected, empowered life.
You deserve a life that feels vibrant, meaningful, and full of possibility. If you’re ready to step into your strength and move toward the future you’ve been hoping for, I’d be honored to walk beside you as you grow, heal, and create the life that feels right for you.

I meet people where they are, helping them find healing, balance, and meaning through honest conversation, compassion, and the freedom to simply be themselves, because I understand what it feels like to subtract bits and pieces of who you are just to make an environment comfortable.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 8 years of experience supporting individuals who feel weighed down by worry, sadness, or the pressure to keep everything together while quietly carrying too much. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or major life transitions. I create a space where you can show up as your full self without hiding, shrinking, or making yourself smaller for others. My goal is to help you find clarity, grounding, and the freedom to breathe again.
I earned my master’s in social work from Walden University. I use evidence-based approaches and a strengths-focused perspective to help you slow down, understand what is happening inside, and reconnect with your inner voice.

If you’re ready to rediscover yourself and move toward the life you truly want, I’m here to walk that path with you. You don’t have to carry everything alone or keep shrinking yourself to make things easier for others. Healing begins with being seen, heard, and accepted as you are. Together, we’ll take steps toward balance, confidence, and lasting change.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Medford, OR can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Medford therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Dealing with an anxiety disorder can make it feel like you’re leading a life half-lived. Constant worry and anticipating the worst outcomes can impact the choices you make. Fortunately, help is available.
You don’t have to let your anxiety control your life. Working with a licensed mental health professional, like the counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Medford, OR, can help you reduce anxiety and find balance in your life.
