Livia Ledbetter

MSW, LCSW

When life feels overwhelming, it is common to find yourself struggling to manage big emotions or heavy life transitions. You don’t have to navigate these complicated feelings all on your own.

My name is Livia Ledbetter, LCSW, and I support children, teenagers, parents, and adults facing depression, anxiety, and unprecedented life stressors. I believe everyone has endless potential for healing, great joy, and building a life worth living on their terms.

My journey began working with families reunifying through the child welfare system, which—alongside my outpatient and school-based clinical experience—gives me a unique insight into the needs of families and young people. I partner closely with parents to help navigate family changes, build supportive home dynamics, and strengthen kid and teen mental health.
I utilize a holistic, person-centered approach where you are in the driver’s seat. I naturally incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral informed therapy, play, acceptance and commitment therapy, and art into our sessions.

Together, we will look at your emotions as messengers and uncover what they mean for you. I strive to create an open, safe, and affirming space where you are seen and heard, and I am a dedicated ally to the LGBTQ+ community, trans and non-binary individuals, and neurodivergent or autistic clients.
