Mercedes Ledesma, LCSW

Psychotherapist
PA
Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating. I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in compassion. I integrate evidence-based practices with somatic principles to help you slow down, develop greater self-awareness, and understand what your body may be communicating. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences so you can feel more connected to yourself and make choices that feel aligned with who you are. My work may incorporate CBT, TF-CBT, Prolonged Exposure, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches based on your individual needs. Clients often describe me as empathetic, authentic, and gently challenging. I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment where your pain is honored, your resilience is recognized, and your experiences are explored with curiosity. Together, we begin to understand what you're experiencing, including what your mind and body may be communicating, while supporting your growth at a pace that feels right for you.
