I'm a therapist working in the Tacoma area. I work with people who have anxiety, depression, and trauma. A few areas of focus for me are relationships, shame, anger, life changes, and identity, though this is by no means a comprehensive list.

Leidy Martinez Bodre

Leidy Martinez Bodre

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.5 mi away • Gig Harbor, WA


¡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.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


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.

As a US and South African citizen, I bring a global, culturally-informed perspective to my work and a genuine commitment to an open, non-judgmental space.
