Hi, I’m Leila Hashemi, LCSW.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that helps clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen overall well-being.

I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and collaborative environment tailored to each client’s age, needs, and goals. Whether I am supporting a child, teenager, or adult, my goal is to help clients build resilience, increase confidence, and develop skills that support lasting growth.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. I believe that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, heard, and supported.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and create lasting behavioral change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions, adapting my approach to meet each client's developmental stage and personal circumstances.

Whether we are helping a child build emotional regulation skills, supporting a teen through life's challenges, or assisting an adult in overcoming stress, trauma, or relationship difficulties, my goal is to provide practical tools while fostering resilience, confidence, and personal growth. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to empower my clients to better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

During our first session, my priority is getting to know you and creating a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your personal history, identify your current challenges, and talk about what you hope to achieve through treatment.

Together, we'll begin developing a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I'll answer any questions you have about the therapy process and explain how we'll work together moving forward.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, you can expect a collaborative, compassionate, and respectful experience. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful, with a clearer understanding of the path ahead and the confidence that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.
