Jorge Leal, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jorge!

I support clients struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues to build resilience and develop meaningful connections. My approach is evidence-based with a focus on feedback-informed care.

My focus

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who struggle with negative thought patterns, interpersonal relationships, intense emotions, and difficulties coping with life stresses.

My approach

I start by understanding who you are, the challenges you face, and how relationships impact your life. Together, we identify changes you'd like to make and discover evidence-based solutions, most often drawn from cognitive-behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

My communication style

My tone is warm, calm, and non-judgmental. Your wellness, comfort, and safety are my priorities. I create an environment where you can be authentic and express your thoughts freely. By establishing trust, we work together as a team to overcome challenges.

My goals for you

After establishing trust, we outline meaningful goals to work on throughout treatment. We may adjust and pivot toward new objectives as needed, which is a natural and positive aspect of making progress toward change.

Our first session

I focus on listening to your story and understanding what led you to reach out for support. My goal is to gather information by asking clarifying questions so I can best support your goals. I also allow time for any questions or concerns you may have.
