About Me
I am an innovative, nontraditional thinker who has spent almost my entire life working in very traditional, unthinking environments. I found my calling by connecting with other innovators and spiritual seekers who wanted more than their current situation offered and helping them forge paths to greater self-awareness and fulfillment.
I have a gift for empathic healing through my coaching sessions that supports individuals and couples in seasons of vulnerability. Working through religious trauma, coming to terms with one’s sexual orientation or gender identity, making peace with new relational realities on the other side of setting self-care boundaries—I get it and I know how to walk with you through it to a place of acceptance, inner peace and newfound courage.
I was a church pastor for 24 years where I coached many couples, straight and gay, on their relationships. I am a certified relationship coach through the Prepare-Enrich organization and use their assessment tools to help couples learn their strength and growth areas and then teach skills necessary for a healthier relationship.
Now, in addition to coaching and consulting, I serve as a hospital chaplain, providing spiritual support to patients, their families and hospital staff. Chaplaincy has increased the listening and discernment skills that are vital to my coaching work.

The last conversation we had, I could tangibly feel my heart settle. Finding a compassionate heart that can create space for you to explore God's spirit in your life is rare and priceless. Grateful for his ability to not only listen to your story, but to allow freedom and courage to walk the uncharted path.

Im deeply thankful to have Todds presence in my life. He is a man of tremendous characterone of those people who listens not in order to formulate a response but to first truly receive your words. Those I hold dear come from a wide variety of spiritual perspectives and paths, and a wider variety of life experiences still. Id encourage every single one of them to spend time with someone like Todd. There is no one who would not be welcome in Todds office. His rich, hard-earned spiritual foundation leads him to live and practice in such a way that honors the worth of every person. As a specialist and a friend, Todd was able to provide me some rest amidst some dark and difficult chapters of life. He walked with me as a companion in my struggles with depression, substance abuse, identity and the spiritual journey, just to highlight a few areas. Todd earns my total and wholehearted recommendation.

During a challenging transition in my life, Todd was there when I needed support the most. As a coach, he offers an exceptional blend of encouragement, accountability, and insightful guidance, helping you clarify your goals and create actionable steps to achieve them. Todd excels at fostering a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and understood. His ability to ask the right questions prompts deep reflection, often revealing solutions that were within reach but previously unnoticed. If you're considering Todd for professional or life coaching, I highly recommend him.

Todd, honestly, is one of the most amazing people you will ever have the opportunity to interact with. This man knows his stuff. During a difficult moment in my marital life, Todd took the time to help my husband and I through our difficulties. He was ever patient, welcoming, nonjudgmental, and a breath of fresh air. Thank You, Todd!

I was raised a Seventh Day Adventist and left the church when I was 18 because I discovered I was gay. I lived with guilt for many years. When I was 45, I returned to Christ, and decided to search for an Adventist pastor who could help me find resolve. After a few failed attempts, someone told me to talk to Todd Leonard. He let me meet with him quite a few times, and is the only one I have ever believed...that God loves me and created me as I am. I am forever grateful.

I am thrilled to write this review for Todd Leonard, a truly remarkable mental health counselor and coach. From our very first time meeting Todd, it was clear that he possesses a rare blend of wisdom, kindness, and compassion that creates a safe and nurturing environment. Todd has an incredible ability to hold space for grief, allowing clients to express their emotions without fear of judgment. One of his greatest strengths is being an exceptional listener. Todd genuinely sees and hears you, making you feel understood and validated. This unique ability fosters a sense of connection that is often hard to find. With a warm sense of humor, he knows how to uplift spirits, even on the toughest days, reminding clients that joy is still possible amidst challenges. In my experience, Todd is particularly attuned to the needs of the LGBTQIA community, advocating fiercely and creating an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. He demonstrates a profound care for individuals facing illness, such as those undergoing treatment for leukemia. During my own journey with chemo, he took the time to listen and provide support, bringing light and encouragement during some of my darkest moments. Some of the lighter moments of laughter was shared with Todd during my battle with cancer. Todd Leonard walks a path of love and compassion, making it clear that no one has to navigate their struggles alone. He is not just a counselor but a true companion on life's journey. I highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking guidance and supporthe will undoubtedly make a meaningful impact on your life.
