Meet Leana Torrez

Hi there! I’m Leana Torrez, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and the founder of Let’s Talk Psychotherapy. I created this practice to provide a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive space where people can heal from trauma, better understand their emotional patterns, and build lives that feel more stable, aligned, and fulfilling.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR therapy, helping teens and adults process experiences that continue to affect their emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. Many clients come to therapy understanding their story logically but still feeling the impact of past experiences in their nervous system. My work focuses on helping the brain and body process those unresolved experiences so anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and recurring patterns begin to settle.

From a young age, I felt a deep calling to help others. As I immersed myself in the mental health field, I began to see just how powerfully trauma shapes people’s lives. That understanding led me to specialize in trauma-focused therapy, supporting individuals navigating trauma, immigration-related stress, cultural identity challenges, and difficult life transitions.

As a Latina therapist, diversity and inclusion are central to my work. I’ve witnessed how marginalized communities often face barriers to accessing quality mental health care, and I’m committed to helping bridge that gap. I’m deeply passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, advocating for mental health awareness, and creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and understood.
