Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Manalapan, NJ
Hi there, my name is Lesli and have been a practicing therapist for over 20 years. I believe that above all, the therapist and client relationship is the key to success. It's important that I provide a comforting space for my clients to feel accepted and understood while expressing themselves. I am warm, open, caring, creative and down to earth. Therapy may not always be so serious. I will use humor when appropriate and gently challenge you in order to promote growth and achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

I use several approaches, including CBT, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Starting therapy can feel like an overwhelming step, and it's completely okay to be unsure of what to expect. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring whatever you're going through. I understand that finding the right therapist is essential, and it is important to feel connected to someone who understands and supports your journey. In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful, interactive experience. I'm empathetic, approachable, and direct, and I believe in building a partnership where we can openly talk about what's on your mind.

My practice is dedicated to anxiety disorders with emphasis on OCD and OCD Related disorders. As such, approximately 85-90% of the clients that I am currently treating have this diagnosis. I have treated a significant amount of individuals and families who have been afflicted with the aforementioned challenges. This includes in an office setting, out in the community, and in the homes of the client. I'm up-to-date on the latest treatments. I treat clients on the Autism Spectrum, in all capacities (anxiety related and otherwise.) I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists on how to effectively treat their own clients.

One of the most important factors in the success of therapy is the creation of a safe, confidential space. In this setting an individual can express all the thoughts, feelings and beliefs which they often feel unable to share, for fear of judgement or disappointing others. Clients often relate a great sense of relief when they verbalize these difficult or confusing thoughts and find that they are supported and validated. Once these inner voices are freely and safely expressed a client can more effectively identify patterns of beliefs which limit or alter and often hinder their efforts to feel whole and at peace.

Feeling lonely or dissatisfied in your relationships? You’re not alone. Conflict often spikes in blended, multicultural, or multigenerational families—especially Russian-English, American-Israeli, Asian, or Indian-American couples, and immigrant parents with teens or grown-up children. I help partners who feel unheard or overwhelmed by language and culture gaps (including during divorce) to improve communication, reduce fights, and reconnect with warmth and respect. Let’s build a calmer, more loving home together

The people we work with are often facing uncertainty about attention, memory, mood, learning, or cognition, for themselves or for a child. Some arrive after a concussion, a difficult diagnosis, or years of feeling that something is off without a clear answer. Many are parents trying to understand how their child learns. Our team of neuropsychologists, therapists, and clinicians coordinates around each patient, so the people answering your questions already know your story. We move you from uncertainty to a clear picture and practical next steps, with evaluations and care delivered in one connected practice.

Life is a series of choices and decisions that often lead us to uncharted destinations and exciting opportunities. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming and obstacles may occur to block our path or keep us stuck and unable to seize the opportunities within our reach.
