Leydi Huerta

With more than five years of experience helping teens and young adults struggling with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about the human condition and believe that all emotions serve a purpose. Our role as clinical therapists is to hold those emotions – hope, anger, sadness – for or alongside those we're working with in order to guide them into a life of health and happiness.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I take an authentic, humanistic, and client-centered approach for patients across diverse cultural backgrounds. I’m here to help you navigate various life challenges, including anxiety, self-esteem issues, regulating emotions, relationship struggles, family dynamics, life transitions, and identity formation.

Life can be challenging; you don't have to do it alone. In our work together, you can expect a warm environment that leans on psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help you identify and change unhealthy behaviors. My style is eclectic because I tailor my approach to each person's unique situation. Don't be shocked if we sometimes play music and do some art in session!

No matter the approach, you can trust that I will always show compassion and client autonomy, which means meeting you where you’re at and understanding that every person's therapeutic journey is different. I look forward to hearing your own story in our work together.

My path to becoming a therapist began in the classroom, where I noticed that students often needed more individual support than I could have provided, especially those with diverse cultural backgrounds. This inspired me to go back to school for my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling, deepening my commitment to providing culturally informed and holistic care for individuals and their families. In my practice now, I take pride in always bringing an authentic, attuned, and warm approach to each session.
