Hello, my name is Paola Leon and I am a Bilingual Marriage Family Therapist. I am a Latina, first generation female who specializes in Children, teens and young adults up to 25 yrs old. I have extensive knowledge and training in working with neurodivergent populations specifically children, teens, and young adults. I am an advocate of the LGBTQIA+, and LatinX community. I utilize evidence based modalities in treatments such as CBT, ACT, Play therapy and EMDR. My commitment to my clients is to offer a safe and nonjudgmental place in where any and all feelings are allowed.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

On the first session you can expect me to explain my therapeutic style and try to see if we are both a good fit for one another. You can also expect to answer questions about reasons for seeking therapy, previous therapy history as the first session is dedicated to gather your background information.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strenghts as a Latinx therapist would be my empatic and enthusiastic personality. I like to keep things real while also providing that reassurance and validation. I am very transparent with showing my facial expressions in session and I find it for clients to connect and appreciate that.
