What Clinicians Find Here
What joining
Leela looks like.
Clinical supervision
Associates receive individual and group supervision from Moitreyee Chowdhury, LMFT / LPCC. Structured, active, and documented. Hours may count toward California BBS licensure requirements.
Cultural training
Training in culturally responsive care is provided within the practice — for South Asian, East Asian, and multicultural communities. It is built into the clinical work, not treated as a separate module.
Learning built in
Group clinical consultation and peer case discussion are part of how the practice runs. Licensed clinicians have opportunities to pursue continuing education. The expectation is ongoing learning — in the clinical work and in the practice itself.
Room to grow
Leela is early in its build. Clinicians who join now are part of shaping what this practice becomes — the clinical culture, the client base, the team. That means real opportunity for growth in contribution and compensation over time.
