MEET LEIGH HECKMAN - LPC

Leigh Heckman, a therapist at Empower Women Counseling in Chicago offering integrative somatic therapy.

Who am I?

Leigh is a licensed professional counselor who graduated from Naropa University’s Mindfulness Based Transpersonal Counseling Program. Her contemplative education greatly informs her practice, drawing from both eastern and western therapeutic philosophy.

Leigh is interested in helping clients bridge the gap between mind and body, having taken her own journey from head to heart.  Leigh holds space for an open exploration of her clients internal landscapes, using somatic awareness and mindful curiosity to tend to our unhealed wounds. Her approach is attachment informed and client centered, honoring the wisdom of each person's individual experience. In her free time Leigh enjoys crafts and creative pursuits, learning more about the art of healing and spending time reconnecting with nature and the intrinsic, effortless ways the natural world can support our healing. 

 

Interventions used: parts and inner child work, somatic and body-based interventions

Specialty training: Leigh recently completed a 3-month training in integrating somatics through Life Architect. 

It is a privilege to bear witness to your journey of healing and we are grateful to be a part of it. If you are suffering with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma - you are not alone.  Please contact our intake number at  708-480-2016 to schedule an appointment.
