Meet the newest member of our team, Leane Santos-Silva!

We are so excited to welcome Leane Santos-Silva to the Evolve Wellness team!

Leane is a PhD student and clinical mental health counselor who believes meaningful healing begins with genuine connection. She recognizes that every person's story is unique and approaches therapy with curiosity, compassion, and the belief that healing is never one-size-fits-all.

Leane earned her B.S. in Psychology and B.F.A. in Dance from the University of Florida before completing her M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University, where she continues to explore the relationship between creativity, movement, and emotional well-being.

Leane's approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and expressive therapies, combining practical tools with space to explore life's deeper questions. With her background in dance, Leane also understands that we communicate and process experiences in many ways beyond words, and that the mind and body are deeply connected.

Leane's passion for counseling began while volunteering at a crisis center during college, where she experienced firsthand the profound impact of simply being present with someone during a vulnerable moment. That experience continues to shape her work, emphasizing trust, collaboration, and meeting each client where they are.

Outside of Evolve, Leane enjoys dancing, training for triathlons, crocheting and exploring fiber arts, reading, and finding new opportunities to learn and grow.

Leane is now accepting new clients! If you are looking for a therapist who will meet you with curiosity, compassion, and a collaborative approach, we invite you to call our office at (410)989-2034 to learn more about working with Leane.
