Leeza Ticas-Camacho

I attended Lesley University to obtain my degree in mental health counseling with trauma studies specialization. I have found that I enjoy helping individuals recognize spaces they can improve on in their daily lives, as well as nurturing their current strengths to reach their goals.

Most of my work has been in community mental health and connecting with individuals who would not typically be help seeking (individuals who struggle with psychosis, delusions, paranoia, and addiction). I have history working closely with patients who receive both Department of Mental Health and Department of Developmental Services, services.

I prefer to take the lead of the client and where they are, meaning I meet my clients where they are in the therapeutic space, and really attempting alternative approaches to addressing one's problem areas.

I like to understand the reason for coming to therapy, and 1-2 goals that you hope to get out of therapy. I also like to get an idea of what your life looks like, including day-to-day responsibilities, important relationships, strengths/areas of improvement, etc.
