About me
I'm Leslie S. Powers, a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified school counselor. 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. I am experienced with addictive behavior and would very much like to provide aftercare for your teenager who has completed a treatment program. I have competency with ADHD-related difficulties, therapy to address depression, and college and career guidance.
I look forward to speaking with you and your teenager soon!

Leslie has been very helpful to this point
I appreciate her knowledgeability of my situation and her willingness to listen and offer gentle support. I haven’t been seeing her long but I already have learned so much about myself. Highly recommend!
Leslie is caring and insightful. My child hs had a great experience with her.
Leslie is wonderful. I feel I am already making progress.
I have been working Leslie for 2 years, and I felt myself grow so much! She has helped me so much through major life changes and issues. I could not recommend her more! She is always accessible. Leslie truly cares and it shows!
I was very hesitant to explore teencounseling.com initially. I was paired with Leslie and she has made me feel comfortable and that growth and healing is possible. We have set goals, gained insights, and challenged myself to grow. I am very appreciative of her time, patience, and expertise.
I have been exceptionally pleased with my relationship and results
Leslie is very attentive. She offers up experience, goes over your goals and updates, as needed. There's is no judgement at any time, which is very important to me. She's also interested in what you have to say.
Very kind and caring therapist that listens to me
I would be friend with Leslie even if she wasn't my therapist. I've had several over the years, and I can't think of one I enjoyed talking to more than her. She guides me but gives me room to clean up the cobwebs in my head.
I have been with Leslie for well over a year now and she has been extremely helpful in my healing journey. She asks insightful questions and gives helpful and constructive feedback. I always leave a session feeling better than when I went in and always look forward to the next session. I highly recommend Leslie!
Ms. Powers is an excellent therapist. She is very responsive and gives great feedback. She really listens and sees both sides to information.
I'm only three sessions in, but I am very excited to work with Leslie moving forward. I have a feeling she will be extremely instrumental in bettering myself.
Enjoy working with Leslie. I feel she does a really good job listening and helping g you work through your feelings and emotions.
She is great and obviously very gifted. I highly recommend her.
So far our appointments have been very helpful and comforting and I look forward to our sessions going forward
She is amazing. I can thank her enough for how much she has helped me!
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.
My sessions have been extremely beneficial for me. I feel more comfortable expressing myself.
Wonderful therapist. Made me feel so validated and seen, which is something I haven’t felt in a while.
She is absolutely amazing! She’s helped me understand so much about myself and actions I’ve used to survive after past traumas and have me ways to cope that are healing and healthy! She listens very well and has amazing skills and advice to help you work through stuff!
Loved having my meetings with Leslie. So helpful and understanding, and gives "homework" that is manageable.
I just started.
She's amazing, super un judgemental. Very compassionate, and gives great advice. She literally just wants to help you.
She got me talking when I absolutely did not want to and responded in a very personal manner.she made me feel heard.
Leslie has excellent insight and an uncanny ability to read between the lines. She has lived and learned from similar trials, offering an expertise that can’t be taught. Her support and guidance is concise and no nonsense yet she is gracious and understanding.
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.
Expertise listener and equipped to unmask problems
Very pleased.
Leslie has helped me put a lot of things that I am very confused or unsure about into perspective. She is teaching me techniques to help better understand myself and use in future situations as well. I really enjoy having her as my counselor.
Leslie is very attentive to detail. She does a great job of assessing the full situation before jumping to an action plan.
Leslie is easy to talk to and easy to listen to. She understands my issues and is being helpful.
Leslie has been wonderful for me! She is very knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable sharing how I feel.
Leslie is helping me get through this excruciating situation of pandemic and uncertainty and upheaval. She listens, is very respectful, has a soothing manner about her, helps me understand myself and is flexible about scheduling time to see me. I highly recommend her and have already recommended teencounseling.com to a friend--who also is grateful for the assistance right now. Thank you!
Leslie is great! She listens very well and has great advice. I immediately felt comfortable, and she will always try to fit you in to scheduling and encourages contacting her outside of sessions if need be. I highly recommend her!
I joined just before the Wildfires in California kicked off, and it meant everything to have that support system during such a turbulent time.
Leslie has been very helpful for me. She is realistic, yet kind. I feel that I can talk about my problems without judgement, and she provides realistic advice in response.
Leslie has been such a blessing! I’ve had so much going on the past few months and she has been great helping me stay on track!
Leslie is great! She has helped me attack my problem head on and I’m becoming a new me everyday she is god sent and she has helped me see things from a perspective I would’ve never imagined. She is helping me learn to live everyday as if it’s my last! I recommend her fully my first counselor but will be my last I plan to use her forever!!
Leslie has helped me so much. Going through this tough time with her has helped me grow as a person and realize what i need to do. She has helped guide me through past trauma that has affected my life that I truly didn't see until now. She has been fantastic!
I like Leslie a lot. She listens to my concerns & we try to work through the challenges that come up in my life. I have PTSD, and we are trying to work through suppressed memories.
I have really enjoyed having Leslie as my counselor. She is very knowledgeable in many areas. It is easy to open up to her as I have no fear of being judged. It is nice to have a kind professional’s point of view. Thank you Leslie!
Leslie is very patient and impartial. She helps you to consider the situation at hand and how you can manage it by dealing with things you can control and managing boundaries in areas you cannot. She is compassionate and her experience allows her to give great advice
Ms. Powers is so kind and responsive. I have not been counseled by her for that long, but I really appreciate her attention to detail and always checking up with me if she hasn't heard from me. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs counseling.
