## About John Paul Leabres, RGC

Hi, I'm John Paul Leabres, but most people call me Jeff. As a counselor, I'm dedicated to helping others navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I prioritize creating a safe space where you feel heard and supported, working collaboratively to uncover insights and develop steps toward growth and resilience. Helping others isn't just my profession—it's my calling, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey.

### My Approach to Therapy

I am committed to empowering individuals to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. In counseling, my goal is to help clients navigate the complexities of life by understanding their unique perspectives. Together, we explore their experiences, identify opportunities, and uncover the paths available to them. My role is to guide and equip clients with the tools they need to make confident choices and move forward with clarity and resilience.

## What to Expect

Here's how your sessions with John will look.

### Initial Assessment

First session

We'll explore your concerns, history, and goals together. John will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.

### Ongoing Sessions

Weekly / bi-weekly

Dive deeper into challenges, build coping strategies, and work toward your goals. Every session builds on your momentum.

### Between-Session Support

Anytime

Message John through the Saya app whenever you need to check in, ask a question, or share something between sessions.

### Progress Reviews

Periodic

Together, you'll reflect on what's working, celebrate wins, and adjust the approach to keep therapy aligned with your evolving needs.

- Hi! What can we help you with?
