Getting to know Leila Kandahari

My name is Leila Kandahari, and I have ten years of experience providing mental health services for individuals seeking independence, quality of life, and social justice who are also diagnosed with a mental health condition and/or substance use disorder. I count it as a privilege to be invited to walk with individuals as they navigate some of their most vulnerable moments and significant life events. As a therapist and social worker, I have practiced in various public, private, and non-profit settings. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Saint Leo University, a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, and a Bachelor's degree from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. When I start working with people, I meet them "where they are" to ensure they are moving at their own pace.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
