Getting to know Jamila Leander

Hi there, I'm Jamila! "Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength, resilience, and compassion for oneself." Greetings, my name is Jamila Leander, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino, and have been practicing for over 5 years. I enjoy helping individuals unlock strengths and live life to its fullest potential. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; I incorporate therapeutic methods tailored to meet your unique goals. My approach I have been using CBT in practice for the past 5 years. I have helped many individuals challenge negative thoughts and learn self-help strategies. We will use complementary therapy approaches and techniques to explore negative perception patterns and use that knowledge to change how you see and react to things outside your control. My focus I enjoy working with individuals who are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or are ready to move in a new direction in life. My clients often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and need assistance in gaining the proper tools or unveiling blocked strengths. My communication style I meet my clients where they are. To do this, I provide an environment that is free and open for self-expression. I team with my clients to meet their therapeutic goals, uncover new strengths, and improve weaknesses such as negative self-talk. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is all about meeting you where you are. I will work with you to define what you want to accomplish and track progress over time. This often starts by building rapport, trust, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. My first session with you Our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you have been feeling, why you are seeking therapy, and your desired outcomes.
