Lesley has been a tremendous help to me. I came to her at a low point and she was able to work with me to help me feel better and cope with my situation. I highly recommend her?

Lesley helped me to learn more about myself than I expected. She taught me how to be more patient and kind to myself and think about how to manage my more negative or angry thoughts. She is an excellent listener and gives practical advice. Thank you.

Lesley is a wonderful therapist. I met with her for 3 weeks to help me get through a very stressful period in my life. Lesley was easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. She provided me with information/worksheets to read between our sessions which I found very useful. I looked forward to our meetings every week and would recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist.
