About Holistic Approach to Mental Health, LLC
Our Mission
At Holistic Approach to Mental Health, we provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative care that nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We serve individuals, families, and groups in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and virtually across Texas.
Founded by Leah A. Ondiek, M.S., LPC-S, Our practice supports clients through life’s most difficult transitions with compassion, cultural humility, and proven therapeutic tools.
Our History
From a young age, Leah felt called to help others—but discovering how to serve meaningfully took time, growth, and heart.
She began her career in education, supporting students and teachers, but quickly recognized the unspoken emotional burdens they carried. Later, in corporate America, she helped individuals build financial security—yet again witnessing how deeper emotional wounds often remained unseen.
In 2017, Leah founded Holistic Approach to Mental Health. By 2021, it became a fully realized private practice dedicated to whole-person wellness and trauma-informed care.
Leah’s professional background includes:
Graduate & Teaching Assistant at TCU
Counselor Intern at Hurst Junior High
Family Therapist at Child and Family Guidance Center
Foster Care Counselor at Covenant Kids
Program Manager at Child and Family Guidance Center
Behavioral Health Assessor at John Peter Smith Hospital
These experiences shaped the foundation of a care model that treats not just the symptom—but the whole story.
Our Passion
We believe healing begins when people feel safe, seen, and supported. At Holistic Approach, we help clients break through emotional cycles and access their full potential—without shame, without pressure, and without having to do it alone.
“You’ll never know what’s on the other side of your nervous system unless you take a leap of faith. I did—and I’m forever grateful for those who believed in me before I could see it for myself—and for giving myself a chance to experience the best my nervous system had to offer.”
— Leah A. Ondiek, M.S., LPC-S
We walk with you through the process—offering empathy, expertise, and evidence-based tools for lasting transformation.
Our Promise
