Niko De Leon

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that mental health is an important aspect to the quality of life we each live. As a first-generation trans person of color, I understand how difficult and intimidating it can feel to reach out for support and I truly recognize the courage it takes to take this step.I have worked in the mental health field in different capacities and in different levels of care for the past 16 years with clients ages 3+. My focus is to empower adults to feel safe, respected and accepted to be their full authentic selves.

Everyone has their own unique needs and lived experiences, and I approach each person with care, meeting them exactly where they are with openness and respect. My approach is collaborative, and we’ll work together to thoughtfully support your needs and goals along your journey. I deeply value your autonomy and believe you deserve both the space and support to make choices that truly align with what matters most to you.

Our first session is a gentle space for you to share your story and explore what you hope to gain from our time together. It’s also an opportunity for me to get to know you and begin building a sense of trust and connection. My intention is to create an environment where you feel supported, respected, and truly accepted. From there, we’ll move forward collaboratively, working together toward the goals we identify in a way that feels meaningful and aligned for you.
