More about Leslie

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified psychoanalyst and executive coach specializing in helping people thrive through life and work transition. Having been a counselor for more than 16 years, I have re-created my own professional identity through three significant careers: from teacher (public, private elementary) to sales and marketing executive (telecom, advertising) to psychotherapist in private practice (worklifetogether.com).

It is never too late to find a path to greater vitality, emotional vigor and sense of self. I offer guided assistance and an emotionally supportive relationship that clears obstacles and makes room for an authentic sense of greater potential and future in work and life. Some of those obstacles may be a loss of confidence, changes in your present work environment, relationships, and a long-felt lack of engagement. Facing these obstacles, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious and depressed. I offer therapeutic support, a way to regulate negative emotions and a path to resilience. (Please note, I am not available for sessions after 5pm or on weekends)..

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Leslie has a remarkable ability to put one at ease from the very first session. She remains engaged, present and makes you truly feel 'heard'. Her 'virtual' office has a relaxing essence to it. In addition, her voice is calming and her manner comforting. She gives excellent feedback and is great at active listening. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a safe and judgment free space to share.

Leslie is the best thing to happen to me in 2020! She is super attentive, supportive, encouraging and sweet. It was amazing having her to talk to once a week during the pandemic and she has taught me a lot of things in just our last 6 months of sessions. 10/10!!
