Getting to know Leticia Miramontes Pelayo

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I deeply honor the courage it takes to seek support from someone new. With over 13 years of experience across diverse communities, I’ve learned that healing begins with self-awareness — the doorway to understanding, gain insight, and having the safe space "as the storm settles" to reflect honestly, and begin to “aim to understand” yourself and others. While I take mental health seriously, my approach is anything but rigid. I’m known for blending compassion, empathy, and kindness with a down-to-earth style that welcomes all perspectives. Humor often finds its way into our sessions — not to dismiss the hard stuff, but to help us breathe through it. I believe healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported, and I use plenty of positive affirmations to remind you of your strength along the way. Your story matters, and I’m here to meet it with care, curiosity, and compassion. My goal is to help you grow into the version of yourself that feels more steady, more you. Life throws a lot our way, and sometimes we need new tools to handle it — but often, you’ve already got more strength and wisdom than you realize. I’m here to help you spot those tools, build new ones, and use them in ways that actually work for your life. We’ll work together to sort through whatever’s showing up — stress, big emotions, tough decisions, changes, or just figuring out how to move forward. Whether it’s adjusting to something new, working through old patterns, or just trying to feel more balanced, we’ll take it one step at a time. I believe that when things start to make sense, life starts to feel a little lighter. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), addiction recovery through a 12-step lens, and rehabilitation counseling. I’m certified as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor, CRC, and LPCC in California.

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
