Dylan Ledford

Hi there, my name is Dylan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate at Born to Bend Mental Health and Wellness. I’m glad you’re here. Seeking support can be a vulnerable step, and reaching out is often one of the hardest parts. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply feeling that something isn’t working the way you’d like it to, you don’t have to figure it out alone. 

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe healing happens through connection, and I work alongside clients to better understand their experiences, build on their strengths, and move toward the life they want to create.

I take a holistic approach to counseling, recognizing the connection between mind, body, relationships, and environment. I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, trauma, grief, identity exploration, and the challenges of everyday life. Together, we will work to better understand your experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical tools to support your growth and well-being. My hope is that therapy feels like a space where you can show up authentically, explore what matters most to you, and move toward lasting change.

As an affirming therapist, I welcome LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and anyone who has felt marginalized, misunderstood, or unseen. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space where all parts of you are welcome.

What I appreciate most about this work is the opportunity to witness growth and change firsthand. It is a privilege to support clients as they deepen their understanding of themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward what matters most to them. If you think we might be a good fit, I would love the opportunity to connect with you.
