Parenting is hard. Parenting a special needs child is harder. Kids don't come with owner's manuals. If your child happens to have special needs, the situation is often confusing. You want nothing more than to help your child. It's what we do when our children are struggling. Sometimes you just don't know what to do to help. It can leave feeling helpless. You are not alone. I know from personal and professional experience what it takes to make major changes. No matter the nature of his struggle, be it autism, adhd, or some other challenge, you can help your child.

While other programs claim to be 'trauma-informed', our practice revolves entirely around trauma therapy. This is what we do best.

Hello, my name is Leslie. I have worked in the mental health field for ten years, serving a diverse array of clients with a variety of different mental health diagnoses. I offer a nonjudgmental healing space full of support, compassion and empathy, meeting the client where they are. My counseling style is warm but direct, interactive and collaborative- listening, validating, challenging and problem solving. Clients often present with the question “what is wrong with me?” Often a more helpful question is “what happened to you?" We can work together to set you free, allowing you to regain a sense of control and empowerment in life.

You may be facing your first counseling experience or after years of working with other practitioners--willing to try again. When we first meet, I trust you will know you are safe and respected. I commit my full presence, deep interest, and willingness to be open to who you truly are. In other words, I am "teachable"--by you, for you and with you. And rather than fit you into a model, I will "learn and flex"--learn how you learn, change and grow and flex my skills, style and tools to find what works best for you.

Do you feel stuck and want to move forward into a life you love? I will help you on your journey to increase your self-understanding, learn new skills, and heal from past hurts. I specialize in trauma and use advanced techniques such as EMDR to help you process through your trauma and past hurts so that they stop negatively affecting you. If your thoughts or emotions are holding you back, I can teach you CBT and DBT skills to better manage them and help you regain control to lead you to a happier life.

Hi! My name is Lisa Broadrup. During my 25+ years in the field of mental health, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. Many times, clients initially come in because they are in desperate need of relief from their pain and suffering. Yes, therapy can and often does help relieve pain, but it can also help clients explore issues that are effecting their overall quality of life. Over the years I have witnessed the strength and resilience of the human spirit as clients have demonstrated again and again that they can make gains that they did not think possible.

When life's challenges feel overwhelming, burdensome, confusing, uncertain, hopeless, or difficult to imagine changed, it can make all the difference to find the right support to guide you or your loved one to a renewed sense of strength.

Do you find yourself struggling to regulate your emotions, communicate effectively, and express yourself assertively? Have you experienced a traumatic event that left you feeling hopeless, angry, disconnected, and isolated? Do you worry or ruminate to the point where you find it difficult to be present in your life?
