Leslie does a great job breaking things down and offering at-home exercises to allow further work after sessions. I’d strongly recommend her to anyone.

Leslie is a responsive, caring, and thoughtful therapist that always provides a new way to look at a situation. She has helped me realize blind spots and triggers in my mood management and has given me new ways to handle challenging situations. I highly recommend her.
