“Leo's approach is refreshing and different than my previous experience in therapy, especially the use of ACT methodologies and exercises. In navigating some uncomfortable personal circumstances, I have leveraged these methodologies with success, challenging myself through actions that drive me towards the things I want to work towards and slowly building more confidence through this proactiveness.”

Getting to know Leo Gkimisis

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (CA) For the past decade, I have been diligently offering counseling services to individuals seeking transformative life changes or simply seeking solace in processing their emotions and thoughts. My focus has been on guiding clients toward personal growth and emotional well-being through compassionate and insightful support. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from San Francisco State University, which provided a strong foundation for my clinical practice. I was drawn to a career as a therapist by a deep-rooted desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Witnessing the immense potential for personal growth and healing that can be achieved through therapy, I felt a strong calling to be a facilitator of that transformative process. The opportunity to provide support, guidance, and empowerment to individuals facing challenges and seeking to improve their well-being is what truly drives me. Seeing clients overcome obstacles, gain insight, and experience positive change reinforces my passion and commitment to this meaningful work.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can openly share their concerns, goals, and experiences. I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic alliance by actively listening, demonstrating empathy, and fostering a non-judgmental atmosphere. Initial sessions serve as an opportunity for me to gather relevant background information, understand the client's needs, and collaboratively develop a treatment plan. Clients are encouraged to ask questions, express any apprehensions, and engage in a dialogue that helps set the foundation for a productive and supportive therapeutic relationship.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
