I am Leslie S Powers, a Licensed Professional Counselor from Alabama. I have been in this profession forover 30 years, having begun my journey as a Certified Addictions Counselor in 1988. Since then, I have worked in treatment centers and free-standing mental health clinics via private practice, school counseling, and contracting with my county's Department of Human Resources. I am a 1994 graduate of Troy University with a Master's degree in Counseling and Human Development. I am also a certified school counselor. I have a Master of Speech Communication degree from Auburn University. I have earned approximately 40 hours post-graduate in the counseling psychology and ministerial fields. My approach to counseling is cognitive, and I especially appreciate the solution-focused therapies. I believe that clients are the experts at problem-solving given the right questions and goals, and that an accepting counseling environment allows positive outcomes! We'll proceed toward your goals as colleagues, working with humor and respect, serious-minded curiosity, homework and brainwork. If you're coping with longterm mental health issues which require medicine and physician supervision along with psychotherapy, I'm willing to be part of your care team.

It’s awesome that you’ve reached out to BetterHelp. Change takes courage! I am a mental health therapist with a Master’s in counseling and have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. Much of that time has been spent working with folks addressing substance use disorder and accompanying issues such as HCV, esteem, trauma, loss, anxiety and depression. Many times, relationship and identity problems are also present and addressed. My approach is often based, in part, on the existentialistic philosophy of assisting others in finding their purpose and authentic self. This generally occurs through working on personal growth based on self-honesty and responsibility. The transformation is possible through the application of cognitive behavior therapy, that empowers them to be congruent in their thinking and actions. Challenging perceptions and hurtful thoughts are also vital. By focusing on their strengths, coping strategies are offered to assist them in managing their symptoms. My life experiences have included recovering and living with significant, chronic health challenges. My world view has further been enhanced by living abroad and working with various populations. I look forward to building a working relationship with you that is both safe and without judgement. Please contact me so I may assist you on your journey of change!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alabama with over 20 years experience working with clients in my private practice and addictions treatment programs. My clients have come from all walks of life and have ranged in age from teens to seniors with problems that were fairly simple to solve to very complex issues that needed thoughtful exploration and innovative solutions. Because I am also a Registered Nurse, some clients have chosen to work with me around accepting and managing a medical problem that they or a loved one are learning to better manage. My approach to therapy is based in my interest in Jung and Adler while my style is founded in a typically Rogerian, client-centered warm approach. My training in Cognitive based therapy leads me to lean into using CBT techniques when the problems presented lend themselves to this approach. Because each person is different, I tend to match my approach to the person seeking help while always believing that my first responsibility is to listen because healing begins with the telling of the story. It takes courage to tell one's story to another and if you choose me to hear your story and journey with you to your answers, I promise to always keep your best interest top of mind and heart. I look forward to meeting you.
