Written on May 31, 2024 after therapy with Leslie Patricia for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Leslie has been such a great help during difficult times. She helps me understand myself and my life decisions in a way that I wouldn't be able to understand independently. Speaking with Leslie has been eye-opening and shows me how important therapy is. Leslie is real; she speaks what I need to hear, not what I want to hear. She is compassionate but direct, which is exactly what I need. I highly recommend her services.
