Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

My introduction to therapy began when I was 13 years old. My family was going through significant changes, and I found it challenging to adapt to these shifts. As an adult, a pivotal moment in my life was when I came out as queer. During this transformative period, I sought an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist. I was able to settle into my new life and embrace my authentic self. It was a profound and empowering experience. As a therapist, I'm dedicated to providing that very sanctuary for my clients. I know the courage it takes to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, and I’m here to support my clients every step of the way.

Hello & welcome to my profile! My name is Leslie and I'm a clinical social worker licensed in PA and DE. The core values that guide my work with clients are slowing down, prioritizing experience, integrating mind & body, and embracing paradox. I'm passionate about using these values to help you to heal from trauma, reconnect to the wisdom of your body, and cultivate more authentic and fulfilling relationships—with others and, even more importantly—with yourself. The skills you develop along the way will allow you to ground anxiety, get unstuck from harmful patterns, and create a life of purpose and joy.

I have supported clients with an array of presenting issues. My work primarily focuses on children and families but I have provided individual and group therapy for adults.

As a therapist I am inquisitive, honest, and casual in my communication. Exploring new perspectives and challenging thought processes allows for establishing a foundation to support healthier relationships with ourselves and others. Through a collaborative approach, I will work with you to create a space to explore yourself further. In asking you to show up authentically and honestly, I promise to do the same. A focal point of the work I do is to highlight vulnerability and honest communication as the crux of any relationship. Together, we will process through personal or relational issues, anxiety, depression, and much more.

Perhaps you're being pulled in a million different directions & beginning to feel that the people closest to you are taking you for granted. You can't seem to find time for yourself, & although you try to fight it, resentment is building. It may seem like the odds are against you, but there is hope! You can create calm in this chaos. I want to empower you to build higher esteem by prioritizing your wellbeing, reduce stress by releasing things out of your control, & gain self-compassion as you make peace with the past. Together we will work towards developing a life that is aligned with your values despite its never ending demands.

I enjoy working with young adults going through transitions and adjustment issues. These young adults may struggle with moving forward due to unresolved childhood trauma, or an individual may struggle to establish better boundaries within their interpersonal/intimate relationships, or even an individual struggling to meet their goals due to a substance use disorder they are facing. I enjoy working with these individuals, especially if they have moderate-high motivation, but I am also willing to assist patients in the population who are struggling with motivation altogether.
