I adore Leslie! I was nervous about trying therapy and my concerns disappeared within minutes of meeting Leslie. She does an amazing job building a safe space, listens, asks great questions, and is such a helpful guide. Her resources are also extremely helpful and a great fit for the topics we discuss and tackle. Her insights and expertise have made a tremendous impact and it's only been a few weeks!

In the short time I have talked with Leslie, I have already learned wuite a bit about myself, my actions and my reactions. She is attentive, has great information, and keeps me on my goal path while pushing me forward. I enjoy talking with her very much!
