Thank you so much for checking out my website. I am not currently taking any new clients. Please check back in September 2026.
I offer therapy for healthcare workers, caregivers, and career-oriented women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.
These long-standing patterns often form when you’ve had to “keep it together” for a long time.
In our work, we’ll focus on self-awareness, kindness, and sustainable change in a practical, relational way.
Hello!
I am Leah Challberg, a licensed clinical social worker who provides individual therapy for adults in Minnesota and Oregon. My approach is about resourcing and reprocessing. Through resourcing, I collaborate with people to build on their existing strengths and create new ones that can help them navigate anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and life changes. And sometimes we will need to do reprocessing, a structured and gentle way of looking at past experiences to help our brain heal.

Services
Free 15-Minute Discovery Call: A brief consultation to determine whether working together is a good fit.
Individual Therapy (Telehealth): Online therapy sessions for adults located in Minnesota or Oregon.
Walk & Talk Therapy – Minneapolis / St. Paul: Outdoor therapy sessions available for clients located in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota).
Location
I am licensed to provide therapy to clients physically located in Minnesota or Oregon at the time of the session.
Because therapy licensing laws are state-specific, sessions cannot occur if you are physically located outside Minnesota or Oregon, even if you normally reside in one of those states. If you travel out of state, we can resume sessions once you return to MN or OR.
Availability
I currently work full-time as a therapist with Lyra Health. If your employer provides Lyra as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefit, you may be able to work with me using those sessions.
Sessions through Rootwise Mental Wellness are currently available during the following times:
Sundays: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM CST
Mondays & Tuesdays: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM CST
Thursdays: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM CST
Crisis & Emergency Care
I do not provide 24-hour crisis or emergency mental health services. If you are experiencing an immediate mental health crisis, I will help you access appropriate crisis resources for support.
The type of therapy I offer is called “outpatient therapy” and it works best when people are generally stable between sessions. For most people, this means they are able to keep themselves safe, manage difficult emotions with some support, and continue daily life activities between appointments.
And, sometimes people go through periods where distress becomes more intense or frequent and they need more immediate or ongoing support than weekly therapy can provide.
In those situations, we may talk together about whether a higher level of care, such as more intensive services or a different treatment setting, would be more helpful for a period of time. Depending on the situation, that might mean transitioning care to another provider or program, or pausing our work until things have stabilized enough for outpatient therapy to be helpful again.
