Leilani Nyguen, LCSW-C

Hi there! My name is Leilani, I have been a practicing licensed social worker since 2014. I specialize in helping individuals seek healing through holistic pathways and “traditional talk therapy.” I provide an affirming and nurturing environment where you can explore your feelings
and receive personalized approaches tailored to your needs.

My goal as a therapist is to enhance your emotional resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and boost your self-esteem. I’ll help you advocate for yourself and validate your experience by supporting necessary disability accommodations or receiving the medically necessary documentation to validate your needs for your tailored healing.

I use strength-based and holistic methodologies, incorporating somatic healing techniques that help clients connect with their bodies and release
stored trauma. My focus is on helping you understand your symptoms and find culturally relevant tools or techniques. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.

If you’re ready to embark on your healing journey, I’m here to support you, whether through traditional therapy, somatic healing, or animal-assisted therapy with my therapy dog or your own. Together, we can “paws” for reflection and “unleash” your potential as you move forward.
