Getting to know Leron Haywood
I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across school-based, child welfare, and outpatient behavioral health settings. I work with young people and caregivers navigating emotional and behavioral challenges, academic concerns, family stress, crisis situations, and the complexities of school and child welfare systems. My background has given me a deep understanding of how outside stressors can impact a child’s well-being, relationships, and ability to thrive.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe effective therapy begins with helping clients feel safe, respected, and understood. I take a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and supportive counseling to help clients build coping skills, strengthen communication, and develop confidence in managing everyday challenges.
I’m passionate about helping children and adolescents recognize their strengths, navigate difficult experiences, and build the tools needed to move forward with greater resilience and independence.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When you are ready to get started, schedule an initial assessment visit (intake) through Zocdoc. After you book an appointment, a care coordinator will reach out to review your method of payment and/or insurance number and answer any initial questions you may have before our first visit.
