Therapists in Tavares, FL

My name is Leslie Worth and I am honored to work with individuals and couples/relationships, including nontraditional ones, in exploring the variety of challenges, ranging from anxiety and depression to the challenge of differing levels of desire and sexual dysfunctions. I am a sex-positive and LGBTQ allied therapist, who makes every effort to provide a non-judgmental environment. Therapy provides a safe environment for you to explore challenges that we all go through in life and find the solution that fits you best.

Do you wish you had someone neutral to talk to; someone outside your circle of friends or family; someone with whom you can express your true self without the fear of being judged? Our relationship will be one of respect, empathy, and understanding. My goal and focus in therapy is to help you find your own way and answers to your unique situations and problems. You do have the answers within yourself and I would be honored to help you find them and then implement the necessary changes to see new dreams materialize.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am dedicated to help you learn how to develop a strong relationship with yourself and your environment.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help you achieve your goals.

"...The resolution of psychological conflicts ultimately resides within the client..." My passion is to empower clients with tools to help them uncover solutions. I have 26 years of experience working in the arenas of mental health counseling, psychological evaluation & personal development consulting/coaching. My B.S. undergraduate degree coupled with M.Ed. & Ed.S. graduate degrees bridge the fields of psychology, counseling & education; and provide broad based professional training. Insights & epiphanies are useful, but not enough. More importantly, clients need empowerment, coupled with practical knowledge & the life-long "tools" to help surmount their current as well as future psychological/emotional issues.

I believe in order to make a positive change you must be empowered to create the change you desire. Many times I see clients struggle because situations have happened to them and they identify with the hurt that has been caused. In order for growth to occur individuals need to be in charge of their own life’s circumstances. As a therapist my purpose is to guide my clients toward the goals they seek in order to manage their lives effectively.
