I have a Nursing Doctorate, an MSN in Psychiatric Nursing and BA in Latin American Studies. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and certified in perinatal mental health. I believe in treating the whole person, not just prescribing medication. I work with nutrition, movement, sleep, time in nature, intentional socialization. I use supportive therapy with medication visits. I truly love what I do.
¡Hola! I'm Leidy, a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist. I work with adults navigating major life transitions, grief and loss, fertility issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions and more. Many of the people I work with are in the middle of something big, whether that's a loss, a shift in their family, a fertility journey, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, and they're looking for a space where they can finally exhale.
I'm originally from the Dominican Republic, and Spanish is my first language. As an immigrant myself, I understand what it's like to navigate multiple worlds, identities, and expectations. I'm also the proud parent of a son with autism, so I know firsthand what it's like to walk through major life transitions, advocate for your family, and find strength you didn't know you had. These experiences shape the way I show up for my clients every day.
My background is rooted in community work. I spent years in non-profit organizations supporting diverse communities, and that experience taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring their culture, language, strengths, and identities. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that reflect the whole of who you are.

Great to meet you!As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that a healthy relationship with yourself is the foundation for a good life.

Over the past two years, I have worked in community mental health serving individuals from all walks of life who have experienced a wide range of mental health concerns.
Prior to this role, I worked at an inpatient psychiatric facility and gained experience working as an advocacy counselor at a domestic violence/sexual assault nonprofit organization. Through these experiences, I learned to approach all my clients with care regardless of past experiences and personal values. My specialization includes working with people of color, addressing anxiety and depression, and navigating life changes.

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.
Therapy that meets you where you are. Whether that's grief, anxiety, postpartum depression, or a life that's shifted in ways you didn't expect, I am here to guide you through it.
My approach is direct, but warm and my sessions are client-led. If you have a goal, we work toward it. If you need space to process, we do that. I use talk therapy alongside evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, and EMDR — whatever fits what you're dealing with.
