Licensed to practice in 2 states and accepts 39 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Grief and 10 more.
Hi, I’m a licensed clinical social worker and a trained psychotherapist. I am licensed to practice in Virginia. I help clients resolve symptoms of anxiety, depression, posttraumatic, stress disorder‘s, and childhood sexual trauma. On the lighter side, I help people who are struggling with making life decisions such as careers, relationships becoming more focused and sports performance. Ultimately, I want to help clients optimize their life.
In your first session, the object is to learn a little bit about you, and what brings you into our service. I will ask you some basic questions to prepare goals and objectives around how to meet your desire to discontinue a behavior, a feeling or thought. This first session is the foundation of the great work that we will be doing together.
Having worked with in mental healh for many years, my greatest strength is in developing meaningful rapport and recognizing the strength in every client. This helps me to pivot the client in a direction that’s most beneficial and optimal.
I love working with clients who are eager to change the way they think or feel. I am best at working with people who feel stuck.

Session started 15 minutes late. While leon was professional, his framing of if I deserve help, was quite off putting. I would suggest that he frame accommodations, as a need rather than a deserve.

Dr. Leon was on time and actively listened to my concerns. I feel better overall about the issues that I have and continuing therapy.

Leon brings both professional expertise and personal wisdom to therapy. I am currently seeing him for couples counseling, and he consistently provides a safe, unbiased space where both partners can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. He listens attentively, gives each person equal time to speak, and offers honest, direct feedback. His compassionate yet straightforward approach has helped us improve communication, gain understanding, and work toward healing and growth.
