About Paola Leon, M.A., LMFT

Hola! My name is Paola Leon and I am a Latina, Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialized in working with children, teens and young adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, emotional/ behavioral issues and trauma. Wether you’re a First Gen students who is having difficulties with transitioning phases in life such as a new job, quitting a job, entering grad school, or are having difficulties in your home environment, I am here to help!

Or are you or your child having difficulty sitting still or having difficulty concentrating? Are you or your child noticing increased moments of sadness or even increased isolation from friends and family? Is there increased tantrums, anger outbursts or irritability? Do you/they having difficulty making friends, maintaining friendships/relationships, or are experiencing bullying? If you answered yes to one or more to these questions, then reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation!

Not only do I have over 5 years of experience working with neurodivergent populations, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and Latinx communities. I also utilized evidence based treatment modalities such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Play therapy, Trauma focused -CBT and much more all tailored to your/ your child needs.

One of my priorities in treatment is to create a safe space for you or your children in where I welcome you to explore a wide range of emotions. I offer you a space in where you can come as you are and allow yourself room for growth and healing. Therapeutic alliance is truly an important factor in a persons healing journey. I am a firm believer that when it comes to finding a therapist, one size does not fit all. With that being said, let’s connect and figure out if there is a  potential connection that you are looking for. You can call (949)-514-8702 for your free 15 minute consultation. Hablo Español!

I’m looking forward to working with you!
