Life can be hard-- really hard. Sometimes, we are just trying to survive and we end up in a place we don’t want to be: depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Asking for help is an act of strength and courage. I have a passion for helping others find their way toward who they want to be. I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change! Life can be better if you are willing to do the work. Are you ready to begin?
Dr. Laureen Lester is a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 12 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and children.

Culturally affirming, gender-affirming, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly.
Using a client-centered, strengths-based perspective integrated with traditional theoretical approaches, her guidance through understanding and addressing the wounds of the past can lead to new healing and freedom. Managing mental health issues and strengthening present inter-relational skills can support you in creating purpose and meaning for the future.
