Phoebe Pantaleon
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering telehealth services to individuals throughout California, Virginia, and Florida. I am trained in EMDR and integrate mindfulness-based and psychodynamic approaches to support clients in developing insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. I have worked in this field since 2015 in various behavioral and mental health clinics, along with all levels of recovery treatment centers with addiction and dual diagnoses. I spend much of my free time with family and friends, dancing, reading, and traveling to new places near and far. All of which I look forward to integrating such activities, like or unlike these, within our therapy work together to better support your healing journey.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, this is a time for you to share an in depth introduction to yourself and your life story while disclosing more specific challenges that you're facing today. This will allow me to have a better picture of your experiences and for us to collaborate in developing a plan to follow throughout our future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked in the behavioral and mental health field since 2013, I have seen the variety of challenges and root causes of how different factors and experiences can co-exist to impact the well-being of individuals. However, I have also seen how the unique steps and plans that we've developed together that help each person progress to their preferred state of functioning, perspective, and overall existence in this world today.
