Leslie is the best, hands down. She is insanely intuitive and loves helping others. She is soft and kind, but her therapy is sound and firm in a way that brings me a lot of confidence. I’m grateful that I connected with her and I genuinely look forward to our sessions.

Leslie listens to me and helps me make decisions autonomously and confidently. I always feel at ease with her and speaking to her is cathartic!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Leslie is. She’s been a steady, grounded presence through everything I’ve faced, and I genuinely look forward to my appointments with her. I always leave feeling lighter and better understood.

She listens with real empathy, never judgment. She’s supportive, insightful, and incredibly good at what she does. This is what therapy is supposed to feel like. With her, it actually works.

For the past year and a half, she’s given me a healthy place to sort through all the ups and downs, and I’m truly grateful for her.

over the years I have taken advantage of the benefit of being able to change therapist as needed. I am blessed to say that I will never have to take advantage of that benefit again. if there were such a thing as a client, therapist soulmate relationship I’d say I finally found it. Thank you, Betterhelp.!

Professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. She has a very friendly demeanor that puts you at ease and is quick to identify stress points and offer solutions and insight to work through them
