- LMFT
I am licensed in California with 25 plus years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, child abuse, & parenting issues. I have worked with families, teens and children in the Department of Mental Health & in Child Protective Services as well as an Adult Psychiatric Unit. I cared for my mother 24/7 for the last four years of her life. I cared for a couple in their 90s for the last four years of their lives. At the end hospice became involved. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing session - very helpful
It is going very well after my first session. He had great shares, and could truly relate and hear me. Highly recommended.
He was a very good therapist. His main concern was me and my health. He listened and provided good insight. Kind and understanding
I am recommending Leslie. He is knowledgeable, a good listener and empathetic: essential traits for a therapist. It was important to me that he had lived experience, which he did, and that put me at ease (along with his relaxed manner).
Leslie has a long range of life and clinical experiences and perspectives to share about with past trauma, validation, and dealing with family dynamics. Our therapy sessions discussing boundaries and verbal ways in going about them have made me more confident in myself in dealing with past issues and future conflicts. With the support of therapy sessions, practicing and refining myself on my own has helped me better maintain my peace of mind and take more productive action. Thanks!
