Hello! My name is Leila, and I have been a counselor for over 5 years. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with both children and adults from various walks of life. I specialize in supporting individuals who have struggled with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I hold a degree in Mental Health and Art Therapy, which allows me to incorporate creative methods into the healing process.
I believe in addressing not just the symptoms but the whole person, considering their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. My direct approach ensures that we tackle issues head-on, fostering an environment of honesty and transparency. Additionally, I incorporate creative techniques tailored to each individual's unique needs.
I create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss things you might not feel comfortable sharing with others. Together, we will work on understanding yourself better, uncovering patterns, and fostering personal growth. I look forward to working with you on your journey toward growth and healing.
