Elida Ledesma, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elida!

Welcome! I’m a bilingual Spanish/English Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

My focus

The areas of focus in my practice include anxiety, depression, adverse life experiences, self-esteem, anger management, stress management, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.

My approach

My purpose is to support you as you make sense of difficult, stressful, or unexpected life experiences and create meaningful life changes. In therapy, I offer a safe space where you feel heard, and we work collaboratively to help you progress toward your goals.

My communication style

In session, I provide support by walking alongside you as you explore, gain insight, develop ways to manage life challenges, or take the steps to create change.

My goals for you

I believe therapy is most effective when tailored to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Attachment, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness.

Our first session

Starting something new, such as therapy, can bring up many questions, thoughts, and emotions, and that is a normal and valid response. To help with the process, our first session will focus on addressing your questions about therapy, exploring what brings you to therapy, identifying your goals, and discussing how I can support your therapy journey.
