Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a bilingual practitioner (English/Spanish)-licensed in both MD and PA-who is passionate about holistically caring for my clients, emphasizing all aspects of their well-being. Working in school, university, and outpatient settings with clients of all ages, I aim to provide authentic, empathetic, and culturally competent care to my client population that is supportive and non-judgmental.

I have prior experience working with numerous client demographics with a vast range of psychological conditions and experiences, including Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Identity Development, Grief and Loss, and more.

----------------------------------------------------

Soy la Dra. Jessica De León, una psicóloga bilingüe (inglés/español)-con licencia en MD and PA-apasionada por brindar atención a sus clientes de una manera holística que enfatiza todos los aspectos del individuo. Con experiencia en entornos escolares, universitarios y ambulatorios, y trabajando con clientes de todas las edades, mi objetivo es ofrecer una atención auténtica, empática y culturalmente competente que sea de apoyo y libre de juicios.

Cuento con experiencia previa trabajando con diversos grupos de clientes que presentan una amplia gama de condiciones y experiencias psicológicas, incluyendo trauma, depresión, ansiedad, trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), desarrollo de la identidad, duelo y pérdida, entre otros. Si consideras que puedo acompañarte en este proceso, será un placer recibirte en una cita.

My approach to therapy

I strongly believe that no individual is like the other, which strongly informs my integrative approach to therapy. My approach to therapy centers on the individual and is tailored to their specific needs. This custom treatment is informed by psychodynamic, systems, humanistic, person-centered, relational, and interpersonal techniques. My goal in therapy is to create a space where clients feel heard, seen, and safe, allowing them to build a therapeutic relationship and collaborate on identifying reasons for specific behaviors/beliefs, and work towards healing and growth.

---------------------------------------------------

Creo firmemente que ningún individuo es igual a otro, lo cual guía mi enfoque integrativo de la terapia. Mi meta en la terapia es ofrecer un espacio donde los clientes se sientan escuchados, vistos y seguros, para así construir una relación terapéutica y colaborar en la comprensión de las razones detrás de ciertos comportamientos o creencias, trabajando hacia el crecimiento.
