Leily Rojas-Ferreira
La thérapie ne devrait pas adopter une approche universelle.
Biographie
Leily is a clinical social worker with over 6 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across a variety of social service settings. She is passionate about supporting individuals through difficult life circumstances and believes in creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Leily values building strong clinical relationships and recognizes that every individual’s experiences, strengths, and needs are unique. She believes therapy should not follow a one-size-fits-all approach and strives to tailor interventions and support strategies to best meet each client’s personal goals and circumstances. Her work focuses on helping clients better understand the challenges they are facing, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and develop the tools needed to navigate difficulties with greater confidence and independence.
She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Human Relations with a specialization in Family Science at Concordia University, where she developed a strong understanding of family systems and the impact that life experiences and challenges can have on individuals and family dynamics. She later completed a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at Yorkville University following her interest in further supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges through psychotherapy.
Leily is currently in the process of obtaining her OPQ permit in order to provide psychotherapy services and continues to pursue ongoing professional development and specialized training to enhance her clinical knowledge and interventions.
She is a registered NIHB provider.
Approche
Leily believes in providing a client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based approach tailored to the unique needs, goals, and experiences of each individual. She values working collaboratively with clients to better understand what approaches and strategies best support their personal growth, emotional well-being, and therapeutic goals.
Her practice incorporates evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also integrates psychoeducation, coping strategies, worksheets, and interactive materials to encourage engagement, emotional expression, and active participation throughout the therapeutic process.
Leily approaches her work through a compassionate, adaptable, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive lens, recognizing the importance of meeting clients where they are while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and long-term coping skills.
