Wonderful and understanding
Written on Mar 02, 2023 after therapy with Leslie for 2 weeks on issues concerning bipolar disorder, and coaching
Leslie has been a great listener and thoughtful advisor -- she's provided me with useful information (especially links and forms that promote my understanding and progress). I look forward to speaking with Leslie weekly, as she's a great "sounding board" for my work stresses, and provides me practical actions to help me with my coping strategy and boost my skills. She reminds me to practice self-care and be mindful of my reactions to stress and conflict. She has provided me with excellent care throughout our journey. I highly recommend her to others struggling with reactionary eating and stress management.

Written on Jan 03, 2023 after therapy with Leslie for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and adhd
Leslie is kind, caring, and supportive. She really hears me and listens. She identifies what my triggers are and how to cope. She gives informational sheets on specific issues you may be dealing with such as grief and self care to assist you when you need it. She is also flexible with scheduling appointments when you literally are in a life changing crisis. I appreciate Leslie and I would not want any other therapist during this time.
