Getting to know Leisl Paligo
Hi there, I'm Leisl!
My name is Leisl Paligo, and I'm so glad you're considering me as a potential partner in your journey toward healing and personal growth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Southern Illinois University, and as an LCSW, my approach to therapy is built on the belief that each person has the capacity for growth and change. I'm here to support you with empathy, understanding, and practical tools that can help you navigate life's challenges.
My approach
I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to assure you that my focus is always on you-on meeting you where you are, honoring your experiences, and guiding you toward meaningful change at your own pace. I have experience with Trauma-Focused Therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies.
My focus
I work with a diverse range of clients, each at a different stage in their personal journey. Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or just looking for guidance on your mental health journey, I am here to help. The conditions I am comfortable working with include trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, personality disorders, grief, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, and issues related to major life transitions.
My communication style
I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported. The environment I create is one of compassion, trust, and openness, designed to help you feel comfortable as you work through life's challenges without judgment.
My goals for you
In our work together, goal setting is a collaborative process rooted in your personal values, needs, and aspirations. My approach is to ensure that your goals are meaningful, achievable, and tailored to your unique circumstances.
