Our Story
We are a group of therapists who share a vision to provide professional, compassionate and integrated counseling services throughout the Volunteer State. We provide a range of therapeutic interventions and we specialize in working with those who are neurodivergent.
“Every skill we share is rooted in care and connection — see how we can support you.”
Our Mission
At The Therapeutic Studio, we provide neurodiversity‑affirming, trauma‑informed, and relationship‑based care that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Because trauma is carried in the senses and often occurs within relationships, we believe healing must also happen through the senses and within safe, supportive connections.
Through play, creativity, and multisensory experiences, we go beyond teaching skills. We help children, teens, adults, and families discover their strengths, build confidence, nurture meaningful relationships, and prepare for futures filled with passion and purpose.
We are committed to creating a warm, safe, and professional environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued. When people feel truly understood and supported, healing becomes possible—and growth naturally follows.
Meet the Founder
As a young teen Leiah developed a deep connection with individuals with special needs when she cared for a neighborhood child with autism. This ignited an interest to study mental health and prompted her to choose psychology as her major in college. She received her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Tennessee in 2006.
After graduation, Leiah served as the Assistant Director at The King’s Daughters’ Center for Autism (KDS CFA) for six years, working directly with children and young adults with severe autism and intellectual disabilities. Seeing the importance of increasing her knowledge of mental health and social-emotional regulation, she enrolled in Trevecca University’s counseling psychology program and graduated with honors with her master’s degree.

Explore Our Spaces
Designed for Comfort. Created for Healing.
Our spaces are warm, safe, and welcoming for children, teens, adults, and families. Each room is designed to encourage comfort, connection, creativity, and clarity.
106 A: The Pink & Green Room
This space invites clients to let their emotions flow through color, shape, and texture. It’s a room where silence feels safe, and art becomes the language of healing. By creating, clients find calm, regulate overwhelming feelings, and discover a sense of safety that allows them to explore emotions at their own pace.
106 B: The Play Room
For children, words can feel heavy — but play feels natural. This room is filled with toys that become their voice. Here, laughter, imagination, and play create a safe bridge to process grief, trauma, and anxiety. It’s a space where young clients feel understood without pressure, and healing begins through joy and connection.
Room 103: The Bloom Room at Lewisburg Pike
Bright and abundant, this room is filled with toys that spark imagination and connection. From kitchen sets to board games, it’s a space where children feel safe to explore big emotions through play. Here, joy and creativity open the door to processing complex feelings, making healing feel less intimidating and more natural.
Room 201: Expression Center at Lewisburg Pike
This is TTS Lewisburg Pike’s art therapy room. This room is alive with possibility. Whether painting a canvas, sewing a plush, or shaping sand, clients find freedom in expression. It’s a place where emotions are gently released, regulation feels attainable, and creativity becomes a pathway to self-discovery and healing.
106 C: The Nest
This is Suite 106’s hybrid therapy room. A cozy blend of art and play, The Nest offers both creativity and imagination. With toys, sand trays, and art supplies, clients can choose how they want to express themselves. It’s a space that feels nurturing and flexible — where emotions can be processed through painting, building, or play, and coping strategies are discovered in ways that feel natural and comforting.
Room 106: Zen Den
This is Suite 106’s hybrid therapy room. This room holds the power of shared voices. In the presence of others, clients feel less alone and more supported. It’s a space where courage grows, communication feels safe, and healing happens together. The Zen Den nurtures collaboration, empathy, and the strength that comes from community.
