Carol A Leslie ACHT, CWC, OT-ret - Hypnotherapy is prime treatment for trauma, anxiety, panic, chronic conditions and negative behaviors! Additional strategies offered to those with emotional, or physical, dysfunction. Eliminate the negative impact on your mental state, work, school, home or sabotaged wellness goals! 20 years' leadership in Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic enabled me to treat all aspects of mental illness plus emotional impact of Crohn's, IBD, transplant, PTSD, and chemical dependency. Retired Occupational Therapist, and Wellness Coach, I also look at all systems in a person's life, their "mind-body occupation."

I work with my clients to provide relief from emotional pain and to address their struggles in life. The goal is to increase self-awareness and to provide tools for better coping and functioning. I believe that every individual has the capacity to heal and to increase their sense of balance and well-being. I find that people who choose to engage in the process of psychotherapy can achieve a richer, more meaningful and more productive life. I work with people who struggle with different life challenges including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss and bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and insight. I am here to help. I have worked in the counseling field for the last 20 years in private practice, treatment centers and in Higher Education.

"Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness." My treatment approach is holistic, encompassing the mind, body and spirit connection and traditional therapeutic orientation. Recognizing that each person is unique, I utilize a client centered and a humanistic approach. Providing a safe, respectful, compassionate, supportive and confidential environment is vital to the process of healing and empowering the individual. I have expertise in treating Grief and Loss, Death and Dying, Divorce and Separation, Addiction and Recovery, Sexual Abuse, Depression, Anxiety and Parenting.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture.  This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds.  The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't."  This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.

Clients come to me to pursue their life goals and dreams. My clients often arrive knowing where they want to go and simply need support to find the path that leads to building the lives they truly deserve. I greatly enjoy watching people transition into their true selves as they connect fully with their authentic identity, find their voice, renegotiate meaningful relationships and work through difficult emotions that in the past seemed to fight against them, and block their access towards finding resilience. I have a passion for supporting people in my colorful community.

I can help if...A small voice in your head tells you that something big needs to change. If you are tired of your internal experience of your self not matching the person that you live as day-to-day. If you feel exhausted comparing yourself to others, wanting to live the way you see other people living, yet struggling to make consistent and meaningful change. I can help guide and be with you as you recover from the lies and loss of trauma. These traumas and emotional imprints so often derive from our family or origin, current and past intimate relationships and the slow grind of neglect, invalidation and feeling alone.

I am a Christian Counselor seeing clients for marital, emotional, and family issues. I like to work with serious and deep issues in a safe and laid-back atmosphere.
