About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Psychologist (LP) based in Minnesota. I received my Doctorate from Albizu University-Miami and have been practicing for 8 years. I have experience working with individuals struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anger management, impulse control, interpersonal concerns, addiction, neurodiversity, personality disorders, and those involved in the criminal justice system. My goal is to guide individuals into a greater awareness and deeper healing, so that they can make the best decisions for themselves.

Get to know me

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

Rapport building initially and I want to hear your story! Clients can expect to be in a nonjudgmental environment where they can be heard and free to express themselves. I understand that things happen in our lives that are sometimes outside of our control, while other things are the outcome of choices. I am dedicated to helping with the growth process, no matter the circumstance.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. They tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation. To me, that is the way it should be. I believe in a trust based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about helping people improve their emotional concerns as well as improving their overall mindset, so that they can understand their limitless life possibilities.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I typically utilize cognitive behavioral, person-centered, solution focused, and mindfulness approaches within therapy sessions. I enjoy creating an atmosphere where clients can identify and become their true selves. It is my belief that sometimes experiences in life can taint one’s genuine self and cause them to develop defense mechanisms that prevent their true nature from being shared with the world. I have a passion for helping others navigate through life’s experiences and difficulties in order to embrace and nurture their true identity.

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!
