Emma Leighton, AMFT

Therapist in Berkeley, CA

Meet Emma: Hello! I’m Emma Leighton, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist currently under supervision by the Clinical Director of Evergreen Counseling. I received my undergraduate degree from the State University of New York and my graduate degree from Palo Alto University. I’ve been practicing therapy since 2019.

My Therapy Specialties in Berkeley:

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, families and couples dealing with issues related to: 

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Stress 
  • Relationship Issues
  • Self-Esteem 
  • Life Transitions
  • Grief & Loss

I also have a particular interest in working with young adults and those struggling with insecurities. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds and identities.

What drew me to this work: Originally, I am from London, and I have lived in Europe as well as Asia, I have always appreciated humanity and marveled at the global struggles that connect us all. Since my previous work was in the fashion industry, my path is untraditional, yet I have always valued building meaningful relationships and connections with others. I have a collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy. I believe you are the expert of your own life and we all have the potential to change and grow. I feel privileged to be able to help support and empower you to strive towards your goals and live your best life.

My style: Compassionate, client centered, warm, and non-judgmental.

Services I offer: In-person individual therapycouples counseling, and family therapy as well as online video counseling for residents of California.
