Hey there! My name is Leana Torrez, and I am a bilingual licensed mental health counselor in sunny Florida. No matter what brought you here, my sincere desire is to support you on your journey toward healing, self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional stability. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to process their experiences and find the tools they need to navigate life with greater confidence and peace.
As a trauma-informed and trauma-focused therapist, I specialize in helping individuals process and heal from painful experiences that may be impacting their daily lives. Trauma can manifest in many ways—whether through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or feelings of disconnection. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, TF-CBT, and trauma narratives, I help clients work through their past in a way that fosters resilience, empowerment, and inner healing.
Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of my practice. As a Latinx woman, I have seen firsthand how marginalized communities have been underserved when it comes to mental health. I am passionate about working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, providing a space where they feel truly seen, understood, and supported. I also strive to break down the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within communities where seeking help has often been discouraged.
In my private practice, I have created a space where clients can explore their struggles without fear of judgment—where they can process their pain, gain insight, and reclaim their power. Healing is not linear, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. Whether you are navigating trauma, identity struggles, anxiety, or simply seeking a greater sense of self, I am here to help you every step of the way.
