A Message From Leslie

Hi, I’m Leslie Eguizabal, a Latina, first-generation therapist providing therapy in English and Spanish to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. Reaching out for help can feel vulnerable and even overwhelming at times, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we can slow down, explore what’s been weighing on you, and work toward healing and meaningful change. I’m honored to walk alongside you in this process and support you with warmth, compassion, and care.

My Approach to Your Care

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR to help clients better understand and process their emotions, strengthen attachment patterns, and heal from experiences that may feel stuck or overwhelming. My work is rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to explore our inner world with support.

In our sessions, we slow down. We create space to notice what’s happening beneath the surface — the emotions, patterns, and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or past trauma, we will work together at a pace that feels steady and respectful of your needs.

Therapy with me is a place to feel seen, heard, and understood. I approach each session with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, offering support with kindness and empathy — always without judgment.

My Focus & Expertise:

  • Clients: Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families
  • Specialties: Anxiety, Stress Management, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem, Emotional Regulation, confidence, Women's Issues, Relationships, Communication, Attachment.
  • Approach: Client-Centered, Strengths-Based, and Supportive Therapy

A Personal Note

As a Latina and first-generation therapist, I understand the courage it takes to ask for help, especially when you may be used to carrying things on your own. Cultural values, family expectations, and life experiences can shape how we view vulnerability and support. I honor the strength it takes to step into this space.

My goal is to provide a place where your experiences are welcomed, your emotions are respected, and your story is met with care and understanding. You deserve support that feels safe, affirming, and empowering as you move toward growth, connection, and healing.

Let's Begin Your Journey

Reaching out is a courageous first step, and I'm here to make the process as welcoming as possible. I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions—I am always happy to help.

“Merlin is incredibly helpful & pleasant to talk with!“

Merlin is not only incredibly helpful, but very easy and pleasant to talk with as well. I’m sure each case is different for each person, but from our first meeting after a brief discussion she was able to provide a meaningful solution for my needs. She’s worked with me multiple times to tailor alternatives when needed and has been quick to respond and be available whenever I’ve needed to contact her.

"Rhoda went ABOVE & BEYOND"

"Rhoda & her team are excellent!  Our first meeting was virtual & she just got to know me & found out what I needed from her. The next meeting was in person, and because I’d just started a new job & couldn’t take off she went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure she was able to see me. She’s kind & understanding & I will continue to see her."
