All About Me:   

Professionally

Before founding Prospering Hope PLLC, In the beginning of her career, Leigh worked for CPS for two years as a conservative specialist II which helped spark her passion for helping children and teens within the foster care system.

After graduating with her Master’s degree, Leigh began her clinical career by working in psychiatric hospitals over a span of 10 years. She then decided to focus on the outpatient sector while also supervising a Treatment Foster Care program, working with the most intense leveled children within the Foster Care system. She obtained her Bachelor's and Master's from the University of Houston and became a clinical supervisor for the State of Texas and the NASW Board. 

Leigh’s professional affiliations include memberships in the National Association of Social Workers, Psychology Today, the Woodlands Mental Health Clinicians, and the North Houston Clinical Society.
