Getting to know Jorge Leal

Hi there, I'm Jorge! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I am passionate about supporting all of my clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues to improve resilience and develop meaningful relationships. My psychotherapy approach is evidence-based, with a primary focus on feedback-informed care. My approach In therapy, my approach is first to gain a complete understanding of who you are, the challenges you are facing, and the impact of your relationships on your life. Together, we will identify changes that you would like to make and discover evidence-based solutions to address your concerns. These solutions are most often drawn from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My focus I work with adults of all ages from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Typically, my clients struggle with negative thought patterns, interpersonal relationships, intense emotions, and difficulties coping with life stresses. My communication style My tone is warm, calm, and non-judgmental. Your wellness, comfort, and sense of safety are my priorities. I aim to create an environment in which you can be authentic and express your thoughts freely. By establishing trust, we can work together as a team to overcome any challenges you are facing. My goals for you After trust has been established within the therapeutic relationship, we will focus on outlining a few goals that feel meaningful for you to work on throughout treatment. Throughout the process, we may adjust and pivot toward a new objective and approach, which is a natural and positive aspect of making progress toward change. My first session with you During our first session, I will focus on listening to your story and understanding what has led you to reach out for support at this time.
