Support for where you are. Tools for where you want to go.

I’m Andrea DeLeon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Illinois. For 16 years, I’ve helped children, individuals, and families navigate challenges and find a path forward.

My experience in medical and forensic social work has shaped the way I care for clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family concerns, and life transitions. I’ve also supported people navigating complex medical needs, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, aging, domestic violence, and the needs of children with special health care needs.

I believe effective therapy begins with understanding you. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, explore what’s keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that fit your life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.

I hold a Master of Social Work, a Master of Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work. When I’m away from work, I enjoy running, puzzles, community connections, and time with friends.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take the next step.

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who helps people feel more grounded, supported, and in control of their lives. I have a strong background in clinical social work and training in evidence‐based approaches that support healing and real change. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and helping clients build healthier patterns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered.

I believe therapy works best when you can show up as yourself without judgment, pressure, or feeling like you have to say the “right” thing. I’ve known since I was a junior in high school that I wanted to help people heal from the inside out, and that purpose has stayed with me ever since. For me, therapy isn’t just a job it's my purpose.

I work with clients ages 10+ navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and pretty easy to talk to. You don’t have to come to therapy with everything figured out...we will do that together!
