Dr. Hyacynthia Leonce-James

I'm a licensed therapist with over 25 years of experience in the field of psychology. I’ve worked extensively with children, forensic clients, and adults. My passion is marriage and couples counseling, and I also hold a specialty in forensic psychology.

I provide person-centered therapy rooted in compassion, clinical insight, and lived experience. My goal is to meet you where you are—with empathy and honesty—while helping you move toward emotional strength and mental wellness.

Clients who work with me can expect a direct, empathetic, and collaborative process. I use person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral assignments, and supportive conversation to help you work through emotional challenges and identify meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a space to peel back layers, challenge yourself, and feel heard—because growth takes time, but it is possible.

I believe in helping clients find emotional clarity and catharsis. Whether you need tools to manage your day-to-day, support in your relationships, or just someone to talk to, I offer a safe space to be seen and supported. You’ll leave sessions feeling heard, challenged, and encouraged—not judged. I'm a sympathetic and caring therapist, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
