I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and relationship conflicts. I help my clients identify troubling thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns with the goal of shifting to healthier and more adaptive perspective and decision making. I work with an eclectic, integrative approach and base my practice techniques on the unique needs of the individual, as psychotherapy is not based upon a "one size fits all" approach. I pay close attention to the relationships within a client's life, and incorporate techniques from both cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy. I provide tools on how to effectively alter maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, while also taking into consideration the individual's history and past experiences.

Many of my clients are Asian American and adult children of immigrants navigating cultural expectations, identity questions, and relationship patterns. I previously worked in tech startups and understand the pressures of performance driven environments.

I am a trauma-informed therapist certified in CPT for PTSD and in DBT for private practitioners. While I tend to utilize a DBT-informed approach most frequently I am also influenced by Somatic Experiencing Therapy and mindfulness more generally. I am licensed in NY and MD and currently do not have a waiting list. I used to run a comprehensive, team-based medicaid funded mental health program for those with serious mental illness so I am experienced with voice hearers, vision seers, and those with delusions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing individual, couples and family psychotherapy to adults.

My name is Leyla Fonseca, and I’m a licensed therapist based in New York.
