About Mercedes M. Ledesma, LCSW

Hola, I’m Mercedes! I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) trauma certified therapist who supports teens and adults especially those from Latinx and multicultural backgrounds in navigating life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, I bring a deep understanding of culture, family dynamics, and the immigrant experience into my work, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

My approach is warm and collaborative. I help clients move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a sense of grounding, emotional clarity, and inner peace. Whether you’re processing trauma, managing stress, or going through a life transition, we’ll work together at your pace to support your healing and growth. I also provide immigration psychological evaluations with care, cultural sensitivity, and attention to each client’s unique story.

I currently offer in-person sessions in Aventura, FL, and virtual therapy for clients located in Pennsylvania.
