Les was very helpful in getting me through my post divorce anxiety and supporting my decisions with scientific facts. He was very knowledgeable in the area of narcissism and helped me to stay ahead of my exes next moves while helping me to prepare for the unforeseen. I will use him again when I need help in this area!

Les is kind, nonjudgmental, and very experienced. I would recommend him to anyone seeking therapy on this platform. He chooses to do sessions by telephone (not through other face-to-face tele-therapy options). However, this worked well for me.

I can tell that Les really understands the crux of the matter, and is clear. He also has a way of "normalizing" certain experiences and feelings, which takes the heat out of them almost immediately.

Les is an incredible therapist. He somehow has the idea to pinpoint the things I don't understand about myself and help open up new ideas and solutions that would greatly help anyone who requests his advice.

Les has been wonderful. He listens, and has offered strategic advice on how to tackle some relationship problems I've been facing. I've felt so much better talking to him and coming up with a plan versus burdening my friends and family with the things I've been going through. This is only my 2nd time going to therapy regularly, and I've definitely seen an improvement in my outlook and mood since talking to Les.
