About Arlleen
I help WOC struggling with self-confidence learn to establish healthy boundaries and improve the quality of their relationships.
Arlleen Mejia, LCSW
Growing up in a first generation Latino household, it was very uncomfortable and rare to talk about emotions; therefore I feel a deep calling to offer a safe space, free of judgment and full of compassion. In our sessions, we will work hard towards being kinder to yourself and allowing yourself grace.
I am deeply invested in empowering and honoring your individuality. Sometimes we may outgrow what is no longer aligned with us and it is time to explore what a pivot in our journey will look like, while allowing grace and gratitude in.
My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in real life. I offer culturally responsive therapy that meets you where you are. Together, we'll explore how your inner world, your relationships, and your environment are all connected. We'll work toward a life that feels more balanced, more authentic, and more like you. I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges.
Change is possible. Even when it doesn't feel that way yet.

My passion lies in guiding clients in their own path
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic, solution-focused, strength-based interventions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This allows our work to be tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Most importantly, I bring a warm, genuine energy into sessions and strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and at ease. My goal is for therapy to feel like a place where you can breathe, reflect, and show up fully as yourself while doing meaningful and healing work.
