Dr. Leavitt grew up in the suburbs of Boston, MA. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Colby College in Waterville, ME and then worked in a sleep research laboratory in Boston for three years. She completed post-baccalaureate pre-medical courses at Harvard University, received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University, and then completed her veterinary internship at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital in Wheat Ridge, CO. She worked as a general practice veterinarian in Thornton, CO for two years before joining CRCG and is currently completing her certification in canine rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee.  In her free time, Dr. Leavitt enjoys yoga, camping, traveling, and hiking with her golden retriever, Xena.   

I fetch more out of life by practicing yoga, spending time outdoors with my dog, and focusing on compassion and connection with all creatures, both two and four-legged.
