I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor whose purpose is to create a secure space for you as the client to embrace where you are emotionally, in order to gain awareness, process and develop solutions. This is accomplished with a collaboration of commitment and investment to oneself and the process. Your voice is important and honored in the counseling process as we work together to discover new paths to wellness.
I utilize a collaboration of approaches to therapy, as this best represents the individual. This allows for empowerment of the client to embrace their truths and confront their challenges. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in their quest to re-create healthy boundaries, learn coping mechanisms, and implement preventative measures.
It is my heartfelt hope that you are able to see that you are worth the time and effort to discover the healthiest version of you, and my desire to assist in that journey.
Take the first step to help. Leslie Richardson now

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma-related symptoms such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc. During our initial sessions, rapport building and creating a sacred space is the main goal, once accomplished, unearthing the root and processing its effect, then creating a plan of empowerment and forward movement. A shift is experienced within the first month and there after.

I value my client's journey, my approach to counseling is to use existentialism to assist the client in reaching their journey with the accountability and acceptance that they are unique and powerful. By using a collaboration of tools, the individual is able to discover a pathway that requires hard work, but freedom in knowing that each step is celebrated.
