My name is Dr. Leslie Hemedes, PsyD (PSY29620). I am a California licensed clinical psychologist offering compassionate in person therapy to individuals and couples living in the San Francisco East Bay Area, and telehealth to all California residents. Over the last 11 years, I have worked with diverse populations in a broad range of settings. In my practice, I have a strong interest in working with concerns related to Women's Health & Relationships.
As a psychotherapist, I use a strength-based relational approach that emphasizes collaboration and openness. During our time together, we will explore and better understand how early experiences, significant relationships, genetics, and the social surround have impacted your ability to feel productive, satisfied, motivated, and fulfilled. We will work together to remove emotional barriers, resolve conflicts, and identify the tools necessary that will allow you to move through your life with better ease and fulfillment.
Whether this is your first time entering therapy, or if you have had prior experience, the process of finding the right therapist can be a daunting task.

I was born in Los Angeles, CA, and spent the majority of my upbringing in Sacramento, CA.
Both of my parents immigrated from the Philippines before I was born.
Having two parents that assimilated to the United States allowed me to develop a strong multicultural lens when engaging within my relationships.
Drawing upon personal experience, I am sensitive to the vital role that our environment plays when we develop a sense of self, our world view, and our way of engaging within relationships.
As I think about what brought me into this field, I am brought back to my 10-year old self; sitting in the backseat of my mother's car, watching the cars and trees pass by.

I went to grad school and worked at George Washington University Hospital with Dr. Hemedes.
She is a fantastic clinician - she is so warm, caring, and has an incredible sense of humor.
She makes you feel safe and at ease.
I fully trust her clinical judgment and recommend her very highly.
Sometimes, all we need is a safe space that allows us to feel open when sharing our most precious emotions.
Working with me is a collaborative and emotionally empowering process.

Dr. Hemedes is a complex and compassionate therapist.
I had the honor of sitting with Leslie in a weekly consultation group at my previous place of employment.
She often demonstrated an ability to uplift the seen and unseen parts of a person, especially in consideration of their different mental, emotional, physical, and environmental contexts.
She is very well researched and always engages with a sense of curiosity and deep competence all at once.
I also have witnessed her creative lean to incorporate multiple modalities into very caring human interactions.
