If could give Leslie more than 10, I would do so. She is the very best - caring, compassionate, offers wonderful advice. Leslie got me through some bumpy times the last 2 months. I felt like I was talking to a good friend. Would highly recommend!!

She is supportive but firm. I am a very bad procrastinator and she checks in on me. I make a plan to improve my life and then go right back into rest mode. So it helps to have support from someone in between sessions through my journal.
