I’ve only worked with Leslie for a little while now, however, I have learned so much about setting boundaries and about myself. I hope to gain more insight about myself and learn coping strategies to deal with difficult situations. Would highly recommend so far.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Leslie is a great therapist. She is easy to talk to and I’ve found we’ve made great progress through our sessions.
My experience with Leslie has been wonderful and I’ve made tremendous progress in a short amount of time with her ability to cut thru the static and really help stay focused on the mission. Based on how well she’s adapted to what I want out of sessions She seems to have a great understanding and way of catering to peoples different needs and expectations of their better help experience. I’ve been more than satisfied!
Leslie is an awesome therapist
Leslie is a very solution-driven therapist, which helped me a lot in my journey. She's human and honest in her approach and breaks down any misconceptions one might have of a therapist / patient relationship. I particularly enjoy how Leslie ties in aspects of our sessions into one another to form a bigger picture.
Leslie has been great.. doesn't mind when I go off tangent, letting me get comfortable with talking. Calm and patient, always eager with suggestions on how to preceded.. with Lots of encouragement.
Leslie has been great, very easy to talk to, very relatable. She isn’t offended by my candor, and I feel like I can tell her anything. I waited too long to begin therapy- and I’ve got a long way to go- but she encourages me and reminds me of the progress I’m making. Leslie opens up and shares vulnerability with me. I look forward to every weekly session. Highly recommend to ADHD adults, she really understands how our brains function.
Very good
Leslie has a approachable and compassionate demeanor. She was able to give me some positive affirmations that were very helpful just after our first session.
Very happy with Leslie after first session. Looking forward to meeting with her again.
Leslie does an amazing job and is incredibly thoughtful and thorough. She is able to get to the essence of what one is struggling with quickly, and her advice and perspectives on situations are second to none. I’ve made enormous strides in my life by learning from her and she is someone who will make a positive impact on many people’s lives. I look forward to working with her for a long time to come.
