Think of the mind like a ship.
Each part has a role.

Some scan for danger.
Some hold pain.
Some keep things running.
Some protect at all costs.

✨ The goal isn’t to “get rid” of parts
✨ The goal is communication, cooperation, and safety

When parts begin to work with each other instead of against each other…
That’s when healing begins.

EMDR helps create:
✔ Safety between parts
✔ Processing of trauma memories
✔ Integration without losing identity

You don’t have to fight your system.
You can learn to understand it.

Mental Health Check-In 🧠✨

Not all struggles are visible — but there are tools that can help us better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

Three commonly used screenings in mental health care:

• PCL-5 → Screens for symptoms of PTSD (trauma-related distress)
• GAD-7 → Measures levels of anxiety
• PHQ-9 → Assesses symptoms of depression

These aren’t diagnoses — they’re starting points. They help identify patterns, track progress, and guide meaningful conversations in therapy.

If you’ve been feeling:
– overwhelmed
– on edge
– disconnected
– exhausted
– or “not like yourself”

…it might be time to check in with yourself.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.

🧡

When it comes to documentation unless it helps you and you need it, I’m not writing it. Keep it simple. Keep it pushing. Discrete and to the point.

Transparency in social work. Running a business is not that hard but it’s also not that easy. You can do well as Lcsw out here. Ask me how.

📚 Heidi’s Top 5 Books – March 2026 📚

This month’s reading list is all about growth, connection, and doing the work—personally, professionally, and relationally. These are the books shaping how I show up in my practice and in my life:

✨ Decolonizing Therapy – Challenging traditional frameworks and expanding what healing can look like across cultures.

✨ The Gift of Therapy – A timeless, honest look at the therapeutic relationship and what truly helps clients heal.

✨ Get Good with Money – Because financial wellness is part of overall wellness. Practical, empowering, and necessary.

✨ Strengths Based Leadership – Leaning into what’s already working and building from there—in business, teams, and life.

✨ Nonviolent Communication – A powerful reminder that how we communicate can either build connection or create distance.

These books reflect what I believe in deeply:
🌿 Healing is intentional
🌿 Growth is practiced
🌿 Change is observable when we apply what we learn

If you’ve read any of these—or plan to—let me know your thoughts 👇

EMDR Therapist | Consultant-in-Training

Hi, I’m Heidi De Leon, LCSW, a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist. Through my practice, I help individuals process painful life experiences and move toward healing, clarity, and resilience.

I specialize in supporting people who are healing from:

• Trauma and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
• Narcissistic abuse and emotional manipulation
• Domestic violence and abusive relationships
• Anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress
• Addiction and recovery
• Shame, guilt, and negative core beliefs
• Major life transitions and identity rebuilding

Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other evidence-based approaches, we work together to help the brain reprocess painful experiences so they no longer feel stuck or overwhelming.

Many people who have experienced narcissistic or domestic abuse struggle with self-doubt, shame, hypervigilance, and feeling like they’ve “lost themselves.” Healing is possible, and therapy can help you rebuild safety, confidence, and trust in yourself again.

In addition to therapy, I also offer:

✔ EMDR Consultation for therapists working toward EMDR certification
✔ Individual and group consultation
✔ Trauma-informed clinical support and case consultation

Healing isn’t about “getting over it.”
It’s about processing what happened, reclaiming your voice, and rebuilding your life.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey — or if you’re a clinician looking for EMDR consultation — I’d love to connect.
