Lea Basler, Therapist
Lea Basler, LCSW, helps adults and seniors across California navigate life’s challenges with understanding, authenticity, and evidence-based care. Through her work at LifeStance Health, Lea provides individual and couples therapy designed to promote healing, growth, and connection. She specializes in supporting clients managing anxiety, depression, and trauma, guiding them toward emotional balance and greater self-awareness. Her compassionate approach helps individuals build resilience and create meaningful change in their lives.
Lea is particularly passionate about helping individuals who are transitioning out of psychiatric hospitalization. She understands the unique vulnerabilities and uncertainties that can accompany this phase and works collaboratively with clients to strengthen coping skills, build structure, and restore stability. Lea provides a supportive environment where clients can rebuild confidence, maintain progress, and rediscover purpose.
In her practice, Lea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques to address a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, substance use, and relationship issues. She also offers specialized support for members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals navigating midlife or later-life transitions. Her therapeutic style emphasizes empathy, empowerment, and practical skill-building, ensuring clients feel heard and equipped to handle life’s complexities.
Outside of her professional life, Lea enjoys spending time with her family, whether they’re playing sports and board games, camping, swimming, or listening to music together. These moments reflect her belief in the importance of balance, connection, and joy—values she brings into her therapeutic work.
