Lesa is one of the best counselors I have ever worked with, she listens, gives great advice and empathizes really well. She makes me feel heard and offers solutions when I'm looking for them, not just venting. I am so thankful to be working with her.

She is wonderful. She listened to my story and led me to ways to handle my anxiety and issues. I feel she really cares about me and if I picked, I would pinpoint her to help anyone I feel needs help. She makes me feel comfortable enough to talk about my past and helps me push past things I never thought was possible.

This was my first time seeking therapy and I would highly recommend Lesa. She is very relatable and very well trained in her field. I honestly didn't have much faith in this whole experience before signing up but she has completely changed my outlook. She has helped me better myself as a person but also as partner in my relationship. I can't thank better help enough for being an affordable option for counseling, but more importantly I'm most appreciative for Lesa offering guidance in my journey.
