Lesbian Therapists in 85086

Hello, and welcome! I’m a dedicated Associate Level Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) passionate about providing positive support for the LGBTQIA+ community. I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space where you can explore your emotions, identities, and relationships.

Not accepting new clients: Are you struggling with feelings of negative emotions that are paralyzing? Ever have thoughts such as "I'm not deserving, I'm not good enough, I'm a failure, or I can't trust myself"? These can be healed and addressed with counseling while learning how to appropriately manage emotions through effective coping and healing of past traumas. EMDR is a form of treatment that allows the body to heal by eliminating the impact of negative beliefs from unresolved trauma and emotional distress. I integrate parts work and the goal is to let all parts of you feel seen and heard.

Hi, my name is Leslie. 15 years ago my husband was killed in a car accident while I was pregnant with our child. I was broken and did not know if I would ever feel happiness again. With the help of therapy I learned the tools I needed to heal, feel happiness again and even thrive. Today I want to help teach you these tools. Trauma and grief can be overwhelming and debilitating. I am a trauma specialist and I can help you make the stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD from a trauma experience greatly reduced. You are not alone.

I'm a nurse/psychotherapist with over 45 years professional experience working with families, adults, and children. As a therapist I feel prepared to be your emotional advocate, and to assist you with the challenges you are facing. Building trust in the therapeutic relationship in a non-judgmental, respectful environment is essential. I believe every client situation is unique. I combine an eclectic theoretical approach with professional experience in order to assess, set goals, and implement a treatment plan that is specific to your needs.

When an individual comes to me for psychotherapy/counseling, I recognize that seeking help is an often difficult first step. I consider it an honor to work with each client and provide a safe environment that enables growth, healing, insight, and hope for the future.

I empower others to live lives they have always dreamt of; to be their best and most authentic selves. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual in order to cultivate lifelong skills. I endeavor to provide an environment of trust, compassion, and respect during our time together. I respect and honor the innate wisdom of each individual to heal themselves; however, at times we all require some assistance. Increased life satisfaction, improved self-esteem, increased coping skills/stress management, resolution of problematic behavior, and restoration of hope may be some of the results of our work together.

Everyone experiences life differently. Whether you are managing life changes, trying to reconcile the past, or learn new ways of communicating and coping, I believe together we can establish goals and work towards accomplishing them. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Creating a safe and collaborative space for clients is a top priority in my practice.

Now accepting new clients! At DHWC we believe that anyone has it within themselves to create change, our job is to give you the skills and empower you to do so. Dr. Durand is a Doctor of Behavioral Health and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an extensive background in both outpatient and inpatient healthcare settings. In her many years of leadership experience, she has developed a passion for supervising and training up quality mental health professionals. Therefore, we offer several clinicians at our practice under her direct supervision with a range of skills and price ranges that can fit most patient needs.

I am currently accepting new clients ages 18 and up for individual counseling, in office and via video telehealth. Common presenting issues include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and relational challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of success in therapy. Without feelings of safety and trust, it is difficult to let down your defenses.
