I am passionate about assisting each individual with developing their strengths and effective coping skills to promote a healthier lifestyle. My name is Leslie Stover, I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. I am a proud graduate of Howard University's Social Work program. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and family issues. With 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients improve their lives and overcome challenging moments. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
After our first session, you can expect to feel more confident, calm, and ready to make progress toward your individual objectives. I truly believe that you have the most profound understanding of yourself, and my job is to support you, offer gentle guidance, and collaborate with you to establish sustainable transformations in your life.

Five stars without hesitation. She’s consistent, thoughtful, and straightforward in a way that builds trust. She listens deeply, makes me feel understood, and doesn’t shy away from honest feedback. Fifteen sessions in, I can confidently say I wouldn’t want another therapist.
