Victoria Leon

As a lived-experience therapist, I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy for individuals navigating eating disorders, religious trauma, chronic illness, and identity exploration. My goal is to provide a brave, non-judgmental space where you can reflect on your experiences, reclaim agency over your life, and develop strategies that align with your unique strengths and values. I believe that you are the expert on your own story, and in our work together, I will encourage you to trust yourself more deeply and move toward healing in a way that feels right for you.

I offer online individual therapy for adults and teens across California and Colorado, providing accessible and affirming care that meets you where you are. Whether you're exploring your relationship with food and body, healing from religious trauma, or navigating life as a neurodivergent person, I’m here to support you with a therapy experience that prioritizes collaboration and consent.

My therapy style is rooted in humanistic and Rogerian principles because I believe in the transformative power of relationships and work collaboratively with my clients to understand their experiences.

I work from a compassion-focused lens and help folks understand how to work with rather than against themselves. I also weave in art and coping skill-building if/when it fits and utilize harm reduction techniques to promote a balanced and sustainable path towards growth and resilience.

I prioritize consent in treatment and will always offer space for clients to opt-in to all aspects of our work together rather than mandating what care looks like or forcing my ideas on my clients.

I believe in helping folks listen to their inner knowing and learning to trust themselves more deeply. I also believe in the power of imagining for ourselves what the life we want looks like and working together towards that goal. A recovery that we define and create for ourselves is perhaps the most healing, liberating, and sustainable sort of recovery and I work as a comrade towards that goal.

Our first session together gives us a chance to get to know each other better! I start by checking in to see how you're feeling and answer any questions you're coming with. After that, I will give you the option to share whatever feels relevant for me to know about you and/or will ask questions to help me better understand your story, concerns you're wanting to work on, and your strengths. We'll then collaborate on creating treatment goals to make sure we're on the same page and schedule our next session together.
