Children (6 to 10) Therapists in San Jose, CA
Hi! I'm Lesly.
I’m a first-generation Latina LCSW and I help people who feel tired of being the “strong one,” overwhelmed by overthinking, or stuck between family expectations, culture, and who they want to be. Many of my clients come in feeling unseen, burnt out, or weighed down by old wounds that keep resurfacing. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place.
I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity challenges.
