Hi, I’m Carol Leiva, LCPC, with 10 years of experience across community mental health, crisis assessment, clinical case management, and private practice. Today, I’m especially interested in working with adults navigating maternal relational wounds, complex trauma, and perinatal mental health. My approach draws from attachment theory, CBT, ACT, self-compassion, and EMDR (partially trained), and is shaped by both my clinical experience and lived experience. I believe therapy should help you understand yourself more deeply while also building the confidence and skills to eventually rely more fully on yourself. My goal isn’t for you to depend on therapy or on me,it’s to help you develop a stronger understanding of yourself, greater confidence in your own capacity, and tools you can continue using beyond our work together. I am a native Spanish speaker with proud roots in Central America.
