Author: Dr. Alexia de León

I am an Assistant Professor and Program Director of Professional Mental Health Counseling-Addictions Specialization at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. I have been in recovery for 9.5 years and write to liberate myself and others from our past traumas and to promote mental health awareness for Latinx communities. I love being outdoors in nature hiking, swimming, biking or anything else that involves body movement and liberation.
