Getting to know Debora Legarreta

Glad you’re here! Starting therapy can feel a little awkward or nerve-wracking, so I just want you to know this is a relaxed, judgment-free space. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or where to start—we can figure that out together. My role is to listen, support you, and help you make sense of whatever’s been weighing on you My approach My therapeutic approach blends compassion with practical strategies for change. I aim to help you better understand yourself while also learning skills to manage challenges more effectively. Therapy with me is a collaborative process focused on your goals—whether that’s improving relationships, reducing distress, or building confidence. My focus I work with young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. My communication style My communication style is collaborative and transparent. I believe therapy works best when we work as a team, so I’ll regularly check in about what feels helpful and what doesn’t. I offer honest feedback and gentle challenges when appropriate, while always remaining respectful and supportive. My goal is to help you feel understood and empowered. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a provider was shaped by a curiosity about human behavior and a belief in the healing power of connection. I was drawn to work that allows for deep listening, thoughtful exploration, and collaborative growth. Over time, I’ve learned that meaningful change often happens when people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, seen. My goals for you Goals are developed collaboratively and revisited regularly. As therapy progresses, we check in on what’s working, what’s changed, and what may need to be adjusted. Some goals become clearer over time, while others naturally evolve as you gain insight and confidence. My first session with you Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy.
