Leah Bunder

Leah Renay Bunder is a Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee with over a decade of experience in leadership, care coordination, and client advocacy. Her background shapes a therapeutic style that is practical, compassionate, and grounded in helping clients navigate life transitions and relational concerns, and heal with greater clarity and connection.

As an active-duty Navy spouse and mother, Leah feels deeply connected to the realities of military culture, family roles, and identity shifts. She believes therapy is most effective when it honors the whole person through a holistic and multicultural lens.

Leah is currently completing her Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. Her clinical background includes crisis counseling, safety planning, and somatic approaches, with developing clinical interests in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

Outside the therapy room, Leah enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, yoga, and facilitating women’s groups in East County.
