Hola, I’m Mercedes!
I’m Mercedes M. Ledesma, LCSW, a bilingual (English/Spanish) trauma therapist providing compassionate, culturally responsive therapy for teens and adults in Miami, Florida, and online throughout Pennsylvania. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.
As a therapist born and raised in the Dominican Republic, I understand the importance of culture, family relationships, identity, and the immigrant experience. I provide a warm, affirming space where clients from Latinx, multicultural, and immigrant communities feel seen, understood, and supported throughout their healing journey.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll help you move beyond survival mode, reduce anxiety, strengthen emotional resilience, improve relationships, and reconnect with a greater sense of peace, confidence, and well-being.
In addition to psychotherapy, I provide immigration psychological evaluations for Asylum, VAWA, U Visa, T Visa, Hardship Waivers, and Cancellation of Removal with cultural sensitivity, clinical expertise, and compassion.
I offer in-person therapy in Aventura, Florida, and secure online therapy for clients throughout Pennsylvania. If you’re looking for a bilingual trauma therapist who understands the intersection of culture, trauma, and healing, I’d be honored to support you on your path toward recovery.
