Let's Begin

Hi, I’m Dr. León.

Or Armando if you prefer.

Welcome to the first step on our journey together. Please get to know me through what I've written, because the substance of the psychiatrist you're working with is a key factor in your healing and growth.

Question #1: Medication?

How/whether, not what, to prescribe.

Unless you're quite set on starting medication at the outset, we'll get to know each other first to decide if this is the right route to take.

There's more to psychiatry than medication

It takes time.

I'll take the time to come up with a range of options to help you with your goals. This isn't just a hello-goodbye medication adjustment practice. I want to get to know you.

Here's my take.

There are several key theories or frameworks that will inform our work together.

Evidence-Based Medication Management

If we agree to use medication, we'll take a slow thoughtful approach.

Attachment Theory

50 years of research can tell us a lot about how our early relationships influence current relationship dynamics. Let's see if that can help.

Somatic Awareness

Practicing awareness of your bodily sensations is like a superpower, allowing you to disentangle and listen to/learn from your emotions.

Mindfulness and Stoicism

A mindfulness practice is essential to your wellbeing; I'll help you with that. And Stoicism isn't what you think it is - it's a 2300 year old Greek philosophy with a lot to offer.

Let's Get In Touch

Answer a few questions and I'll get back to you.
