Reaching out for help can be difficult at best. It takes strength to begin that search, especially when you may be struggling just to function in your everyday activities.
At Friendly Psychology, serving Chandler, AZ, in-person, and offering virtual visits for those in Kansas City, St. Louis, and other parts of Missouri, Dr. Leigh Anne Randa believes in empowering clients so they can apply what they learn and experience in therapy to their everyday lives. By applying complementary therapy styles, our clients can release traumatic memories stored in their bodies and change thought and behavior patterns that may be holding them back from a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
What Sets Friendly Psychology Apart
We want to remove the perceived power differential between the client and therapist. From the start of your appointment, Dr. Randa creates a safe space for you to share. The optimal way to get to know you and the source of any mental health issues you are dealing with is through openness and honesty, and that happens when you're able to speak without any restraint or fear.
Cookie-cutter approaches aren't effective and are not part of the treatment approach here. Instead, through listening to you carefully, Dr. Randa will understand your unique situation and treatment goals before determining your therapy plan.
Some of the treatments you may pursue with Dr. Randa include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Prolonged exposure therapy (PE)
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT)
- Cognitive processing therapy (CPT)
- Internal family systems informed therapy (IFS Informed)
The Conditions Treated

- Major depressive or bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
