Getting to know Leonard Casillas
Hi there, I'm Leonard!
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I have been helping people for almost two decades to build confidence, improve self-esteem, develop new coping skills, and open their lives to new possibilities. If you are struggling with setting boundaries in your relationships, experiencing communication issues with your loved ones, adjusting to changes in your life, or dealing with grief, depression, or anxiety, I can help you build the skills you need to manage your symptoms and live a more fulfilling life. Let's work together.
My approach
In our first session, we can explore the stressors and symptoms that led you to choose therapy and collaborate on goals to help you make changes. With a Person-Centered approach, as well as utilizing CBT and mindfulness, we can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, look at your strengths and ways you may want to change, and learn how to be in the now. I believe that within you there is everything you need to make a change.
My focus
I work with a wide variety of adults from all walks of life, helping individuals manage life issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal issues, sleep problems, and life changes or transitions.
My communication style
I take a person-centered approach in which I utilize unconditional positive regard, creating a safe, collaborative environment that allows individuals to access their own strengths and make meaningful changes in life.
My journey to mental healthcare
Helping people overcome their life challenges and reach their personal goals to enhance their growth has always appealed to me. This is the way I have chosen to be of service to those in need.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative process between you and me as we explore the presenting concerns and symptoms that have brought you to therapy.
