Leslie Del Cid
My therapeutic approach stems from a person centered lens that views all with a fundamental respect and a belief that we carry strengths from our unique histories. I welcome all individuals learn how to cope with the curve balls that life throws.
My identity as a Guatemalan queer woman has encouraged me to view life's problems through a perspective that is inclusive of all systems in action rather than isolated events.
My hope is that through collaboration, commitment, and connection in therapy, we will develop a safe path for clarity.
First session
Our first session would include an assessment that would facilitate our ability to decide fit for therapeutic collaboration. I aim to set the stage for a safe exploration of what led you to services and an understanding of what your goals are.

Ideal clients
I've worked with individuals identifying within LGBTQ+, Latine, and neurodivergent communities to manage stressors utilizing CBT, trauma informed care, mindfulness, and a strengths based approach. My past experience includes community and private mental health settings working with individuals experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, and stressful life transitions. I've supported clients who have a clear understanding of their goals as well as others who are starting therapy for the first time and looking for more clarity.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to examine the interactions between our outside and inner worlds. Once we can understand how perceptions impact our mood and behavior, we can learn how to create more helpful associations.
