About Vianney Leon, LSW

Hi, thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet! My name is Vianney, I’m a first-gen therapist from Cicero, Illinois. I come to this work with care, humility, and deep respect. It’s an honor to support individuals of all gender identities and expressions. I support individuals who are navigating first-generation experiences, trauma, and/or the weight of feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious, and/or grieving.

My approach is rooted in liberatory psychology. I pay attention to how systems, culture, family, and community shape your experiences. I use somatic work to notice how stress, emotions, or trauma show up in your body. I also use humor to ease stress, open hard conversations, and create a safer space for healing.

This is a space where your whole self is accepted, including the ways you cope and express yourself. I believe you already have strength, wisdom, and resilience, even when life feels heavy. You are encouraged to fully be yourself, in all the ways you stim, express, and exist in the world.

Holis! Gracias por darte una vuelta por mi rinconcito online. Me llamo Vianney y soy terapeuta de primera generación, originaria de Cicero, Illinois. Es un honor apoyar a personas de todas las identidades y expresiones de género. Apoyo a quienes están pasando por experiencias de primera generación, trauma y/o la carga de sentirse abrumados, solos, ansiosos o en duelo.

Mi manera de trabajar se basa en la psicología liberadora. Me fijo en cómo los sistemas, la cultura, la familia y la comunidad influyen en tus experiencias. Uso trabajo somático para notar cómo el estrés, las emociones o el trauma se reflejan en tu cuerpo. También uso el humor para aliviar el estrés, abrir conversaciones difíciles y crear un espacio más seguro para sanar.

Este es un espacio donde se acepta todo de ti, incluyendo las formas en que afrontas y expresas tus emociones. Creo que ya tienes fuerza, sabiduría y resiliencia, incluso cuando la vida se siente pesada. Aquí se te anima a ser tú mismo por completo, en todas las formas en que te estimulas, te expresas y existes en el mundo.
