Hi! I am Natalia Toro Leon, LCSW with over 8 years of experience in mental health. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I’m passionate about guiding individuals through life’s challenges and fostering personal growth. I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and self-esteem issues, also life transitions. My approach is eclectic and compassionate, tailored to your unique needs, so we can build a path toward healing, confidence, and a more balanced life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. From our first meeting, we'll dive into your goals, discuss important history, and create a personalized plan to guide our work. This is your time to share your story, ask questions, and get a sense of how we can work together to address your needs. We’ll explore what’s holding you back, set achievable goals, and build practical coping tools. Let’s tackle life’s challenges and find your path to healing, growth, and balance.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
"My greatest strengths? Creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and truly heard. I’m all about adapting my approach to fit what works for you, whether it’s EMDR, CBT, or other techniques. Trust and connection are at the core of my work—I want you to feel empowered to take charge of your healing journey. With dedication, patience, and a down-to-earth vibe, I’m here to support you every step of the way."

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR and use it to help clients process and heal from past trauma and distressing experiences. Through a structured approach, I guide clients in reprocessing difficult memories to reduce their emotional impact and enhance resilience. I tailor EMDR to each client's needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment throughout the process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am experienced in using CBT to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By working collaboratively, I guide clients in developing practical strategies to manage challenges, improve emotional well-being, and achieve their goals. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, fostering personal growth and lasting change.
Interpersonal
I use interpersonal therapy to help clients explore and improve their relationships, communication, and emotional well-being. By focusing on relational patterns and life transitions, I support clients in understanding how their interactions impact their mental health and guide them in developing healthier connections.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. By focusing on their strengths and innate potential, I empower clients to explore their feelings, set goals, and foster personal growth at their own pace.
Strength-Based
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build upon their existing abilities and resources. This method empowers individuals by shifting the focus from problems to possibilities, fostering self-confidence and resilience as they work toward their goals and overcome challenges.
