About me

Hello! I am Dr. Iesha McLeod, a licensed psychologist dedicated to providing evidence-based, culturally responsive care to adults navigating challenges related to mood, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My clinical approach emphasizes collaboration, insight, and the development of practical coping strategies to support growth and well-being. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that fosters safety, self-understanding, and sustainable change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy at this time. We’ll explore your current concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment. This meeting also provides an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine whether my approach feels like a good fit. By the end of our session, we’ll identify initial areas of focus and begin developing a plan that supports your emotional health and long-term well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths lie in creating a calm, supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based approaches with practical tools tailored to each individual’s needs. My work is guided by cultural responsiveness, clinical insight, and a strong commitment to helping clients build self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in managing life’s challenges. My clinical approach is integrative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client’s unique background, goals, and experiences. Over the years, I have drawn from several core methods that complement one another in supporting lasting emotional and behavioral change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You’ve likely spent years showing up for everyone else, while quietly setting your own needs aside. You are the person others depend on, yet lately you have felt emotionally drained, disconnected, or unsure of where to turn next. You may be navigating a major life transition, feeling the weight of anxiety or self-doubt, or still healing from experiences that left lasting impacts. My practice is dedicated to serving and empowering diverse and historically underrepresented individuals who want a space that feels safe, affirming, and culturally responsive. You value growth and authenticity, and you simply need the time, tools, and support to realign with your peace and purpose. Together, we will explore the patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your coping skills, and reconnect you with the grounded, confident version of yourself that you know is still there.

Dr. Iesha made me feel like I was talking to one of my girlfriends. It was easy and I felt so comfortable. I was so scared going into this first session and by the end I felt like I could tell her everything and anything! I sincerely appreciate the way she made me feel so relaxed and safe.

Talking with Dr.McLeod felt both like talking with a wise friend as well as a licensed professional. I didn’t feel like just another patient but rather someone confiding deep feelings to someone who cares. I’m definitely looking forward to my next session!
