Hi, I'm Leslie Lopez, a licensed therapist with over 9 years of experience who supports individuals navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the process of healing from past emotional wounds. My approach is compassionate, collaborate, and grounded in helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom. I believe therapy is a space where you can be fully yourself -where you don't have to hold it all together or go through things alone.
In our first session together, we'll take time to get to know each other and start building a sense of safety and trust. I'll ask questions about what's bringing you in, what you've been going through, and what you hope to get out of therapy. You are welcome to share at your own pace-there's no pressure to have it all figured out. My goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered from the very beginning. We'll also discuss how I work, answer any questions you have, and explore what your therapy journey might look like moving forward.
As a therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for each client's unique story. I have a strong ability to hold space for difficult emotions while helping clients feel safe seen, and empowered. My strengths include helping clients explore patterns with compassion, identify their core needs, and reconnect with their inner voice.
I specialize in working with complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and personal growth and development. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to work through deeper wounds, I offer a supportive space where healing and personal growth can unfold.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing to treat complex trauma.
DBT is a great modality to assist in managing distress, emotional dysregulation, and learn grounding techniques to manage symptoms.
