Gabriel Leon, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gabriel!

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself, and I am looking forward to collaborating with you all.

My focus

Clients that I worked with in the past have been suffering from depression, anxiety, LGBTQ issues, and family therapy.

My approach

I focus on your present strengths and future possibilities rather than dwelling on past struggles. My humanistic perspective emphasizes your inherent capacity for growth, self-discovery, and positive change through a supportive therapeutic relationship.

My communication style

I use a positive and supportive tone to create a sense of trust and safety, allowing you to open up and share your thoughts and feelings comfortably.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to this work has been driven by a deep commitment to helping others discover their strengths and reach their potential. I find meaning in supporting people through their growth and transformation.

My goals for you

We start by identifying your broad motives, hopes, and dreams, then work together to clarify specific goals and create a path forward that feels authentic to you.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know one another, explore what brought you to therapy, and determine if we're a good fit. This helps us build a foundation for our work together.
