How we Treat
LEAP (Listen-Empathize-Agree-Partner)
LEAP is a relationship-based intervention facilitating understanding and trust, leading to treatment acceptance and positive clinical outcomes.
LEAP at Pasadena Villa
Anosognosia — a lack of insight into one’s mental health condition — often accompanies serious mental health disorders. At Pasadena Villa, we utilize the LEAP (Listen-Empathize-Agree-Partner) approach to establish trust and promote client collaboration.
This evidence-based method helps our team understand each client’s perspective without invalidating their experiences or creating conflict. LEAP encourages treatment acceptance, improves compliance, and enhances overall clinical outcomes by fostering connection and mutual understanding.
Understanding anosognosia & LEAP
Anosognosia is a condition where an individual is unaware of their mental health challenges, often perceiving symptoms as normal or denying they need help. This lack of insight can make treatment difficult and leave loved ones confused or powerless. To address these challenges, the LEAP methodology offers a compassionate approach to building trust and encouraging collaboration in the treatment process.
How does LEAP work?
LEAP is a world-renowned, evidence-based approach that helps clinicians build client trust and understanding. Anosognosia — a common symptom of conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder — can make it difficult for individuals to recognize their mental health challenges. Awareness often fluctuates, with moments of acknowledgment and others of denial. LEAP supports clients during these variations, fostering collaboration and paving the way for effective treatment.
