I have worked with adolescents in many settings, including treatment centers for behavioral and substance use disorders, general population middle- and high schools, alternative campuses for students with Individual Education Plans, and private practice.

Leslie has been a fantastic thought partner. She isn’t pushy, she listens, is calm, and takes the time to understand your concerns and desires before offering conversation on solutions or pathways forward.

I’ve worked with her for 5 weeks and already feel as though weekly sessions may no longer be necessary and every two weeks may be sufficient.

Leslie made my son feel important as he is. She worked through several different modes to keep in touch and make him comfortable even though he wants to be nonverbal.
We all need support after this year and she has supported him even through messages that let him know he matters and is thought of by others than just family. I appreciate her continuing efforts to draw him out of the cave he's been hiding in.
