Only had one session with Leigh Ann Tedesco and already I feel a bit better. Can't wait to continue my sessions.

Leigh Ann Tedesco helped me greatly through a rough patch I was having. She honest, respectful and kind through all of our sessions. The best aspect was we found common ground to just have normal conversions and at times it was like talking to a friend. I’d recommend her to anyone.
