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!

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Arlington, TX


There are seasons of life when you realize you’ve changed, but you’re not entirely sure who you’ve become. Anxiety or depression may be affecting how you feel day to day, tension in your family or relationships may leave you emotionally drained, or you may have spent so much time meeting expectations that your own needs have become difficult to hear. I provide virtual and in person individual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout Texas, with a focus on anxiety, depression, family issues, relationship concerns, and women’s issues. I also support clients navigating trauma, PTSD, and stress when those experiences are contributing to the challenges they face today. My goal is to create a warm, affirming environment where you can step away from the pressure to have everything figured out, understand yourself more clearly, and begin reconnecting with the person you want to be.

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.
