Leslie Lopez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Leslie!

I specialize in adults experiencing depression and anxiety.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing challenges with life transitions and relationships, and utilizing coping skills. These stressors can often lead to depression and anxiety. I support my clients in building skills that will aid them in managing stressors.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is based on my client's needs. I utilize Positive Psychology and Solution-Focused Therapy, which promotes self-esteem and empowers my clients to encourage a healthier lifestyle and overall wellness to achieve their desired mental health goals.

My communication style

I create a comfortable and relaxed environment when I conduct therapy. I offer a realistic perspective that allows clients to feel at ease with me, while we dive into the deeper meaning behind their thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a first-generation Latina, I navigated life challenges that triggered anxiety, loneliness, and hopelessness. With support from therapists and community, I built the skills and strengths necessary to connect with others. I now use my experiences to support others and help them build connections of their own.

My goals for you

The goals that my clients set are realistic, digestible, and achievable. It is done collaboratively and holistically. The client's goals are discussed regularly through check-ins to support the client's desired outcomes.

Our first session

In the first session, the client can expect a conversation surrounding their expectations and goals for therapy.
