Grief counselors and therapists in Mansfield, TX

My name is Priscilla Ledesma. I'm an LPC in Texas. I graduated with my masters degree in Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I'm excited to meet you & start your journey to healing together. I specialize in young adults such as Gen Z and Millennials. I also have 10+ years of experience working with adolescents in & out of the school setting as a certified Professional School Counselor. I work with those with issues with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-image, trauma & grief.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Social Worker in the State of Texas. Between my two licenses, I have a total of 29 years of experience ranging from treatment for adult's issues/needs to treatment for early childhood ages and childhood, as well as treatment for adults 60+ and the elderly. My approach in therapy is of a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused nature and I have assisted clients with a wide range of concerns including significant life changes, parenting, foster care and adoption, divorce or separation, grief and loss, childhood or adult traumas, family issues, domestic abuse, relationship issues, early childhood intervention and medical needs, compassion fatigue, career, and individual spiritual walk. I focus on assisting the client with addressing emotional struggles and in how to face life events in a way that is safe, healthy and positive for them individually and not in comparison to others as each of our lives are unique and at times complicated. Working with a client to see that their life and situation may be unique BUT that they are definitely NOT ALONE and that there is both Hope and Help, is what drives me to continue with my passion to counsel those seeking support as they take their journey in this life. I want each client to feel that they are being heard and valued as they walk through situations with me and get help finding solutions to their need at hand. Oftentimes, a client simply needs to have a sounding board to help them line out their emotions and a course of action but then at other times they simply need professional support in learning about options for tools to use and approaches they can take as they work to address an issue at hand. The combination of my training in social work along with professional counseling, lends well to me working with a client needing both a person-centered but also a solution-focused approach to assist with positive and supportive change.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working with teens (13+), adults, active military, and veterans.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. I also work with LGBTQ+ clients. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy, but I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on getting to the root of what's going on and figuring out what actually works for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to show up. I'll do the work with you, no judgment, no pretense.

If you're ready, I'm here.

I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.

• New mothers and parents of all genders in nurturing their own well being through the world-upending transition to parenthood
• Parents at all stages facing the myriad pressures and stressors of modern life
• Adolescents and young adults navigating growth, change, and identity exploration
