Shante Leifheit

Shante Leifheit

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi there! My name is Shante, and I’m happy you’re here.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker originally from the Bay Area and have called Las Vegas home for over 10 years. My background includes work in trauma-informed care, community mental health, and supporting Veterans navigating complex life challenges. These experiences deepened my belief that healing happens best in spaces where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what they’re carrying.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels grounded, collaborative, and human. I primarily support women navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the pressures of trying to hold everything together while still caring for themselves. My approach is rooted in CBT and mindfulness-informed practices, helping clients better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building healthier coping tools, emotional awareness, and more intentional ways of responding to life.

Clients often describe me as warm, calming, easy to talk to, and deeply present. I value authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and believe meaningful growth happens when people feel emotionally safe, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves without shame or judgment.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy pottery, mindfulness practices, spending time with my family, and finding small ways to slow down and stay present throughout the day. I believe healing often happens in the little moments where we learn to reconnect with ourselves with more compassion and intention.

Therapy, at its best, can lead to emotional freedom. My work is shaped by the unique needs and lived experiences of each person I meet. Grounded in a trauma-informed perspective and supported by evidence-based practices, I bring care, steadiness, and flexibility to the work. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy. My hope is that clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and free to explore what healing can look like for them.

Sometimes the hardest part is just being able to show up as yourself without editing anything out. I work with teens, young adults, and adults working through anxiety, stress, and big life transitions, and I have a particular focus on supporting people in the LGBTQIA+ community who want a space that feels genuinely affirming. Whether you are navigating identity, family dynamics, or just trying to feel more like yourself, I want our sessions to be a place where you do not have to perform or have it all figured out.

Therapist

I help my clients heal their relationships starting with the one with themselves. I help clients either heal from a past traumatic relationship, improve a current one or prepare themselves for a new one. My clients often want to learn how to resolve conflicts, advocate for their needs and set boundaries. Sometimes my clients identify as people pleasers and want to learn how to listen to their own needs. I help guide my clients on their healing from the inside out.
