Lauren Leslie

People navigating life’s changes and crafting healthy relationships are my favorite population. Children in the midst of transition, families looking to heal from difficulties of the past and grow for the future, or adults exploring their identities and pursuing happiness and the creation of their best selves—anyone who wants to create or maintain a hopeful and whole life is my ideal client. Often people looking for healing have experienced difficulties, pain, or fear in their pasts; therapy is a place those roots can turn into growth. Research shows the most important factor in a productive therapy experience is a client feeling a strong positive bond with their therapist. Because of this, my focus in therapy is building a relationship and learning about my clients. This allows me to bring a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities to the table, providing individualized care. Whatever your background or current circumstances, I want to know you as a person and travel with you through your life journey. I have worked with children enduring trauma, parents facing grief, fear, and uncertainty, and adults experiencing everything from social oppression to substance use and suicidality. Please be in touch—I’d love to work with you.
