Kelly Leong, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kelly!

I help people heal, overcome challenges, and move forward. I work with children, adults, and couples to grow confidence and feel more secure in relationships.

My focus

I work with adults, couples, and first- and second-generation immigrants who want healthy, happy family relationships without sacrificing cultural backgrounds or values.

My approach

I'm a supportive, client-centered, culturally sensitive, strength-based therapist using humanistic, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and existential approaches. My goal is to bring significant improvement in your well-being, relationships, and life experience.

My communication style

I provide a safe, comfortable space to share your needs. My solution-focused approach allows us to focus on your goals in session to bring meaningful, impactful change in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I saw my immigrant parents struggle with anxiety and depression while trying to provide for our family in an unfamiliar land. I now help others struggling with career, family, relationship, or cultural issues find ways to manage stress, worries, and overwhelming emotions.

My goals for you

I collaborate with you on your treatment goals and tailor each session to meet your needs and address what matters most to you.

Our first session

It can be challenging to open up with someone you just met, and I fully understand that. I'll listen and get to know you during our first session, then collaborate and discuss your needs together.
