Leslie Morgan works with individual adults and adolescents aged 14 and older. Leslie is a person-centered therapist who uses a strengths-based approach toward client healing and flourishing. Whether empowering and enabling her clients to nurture their mental health and/or navigate difficult life events, Leslie honors the gift of experiencing another's authentic self. She enjoys helping others become sturdy from within so that they can contribute their unique gifts to the world. Clients are the experts of their own lived experiences, so I meet them right where they are and then work collaboratively toward their goals and what they define as success.
They can expect to be received in the most welcoming, judgement-free way and feel safe to discuss what they most want to focus on.
I have a more varied background having chosen this career at midlife after 20+ years of working in a different industry, so I find it very easy and natural to relate to my clients, and they pick up on it. I'm also someone who has benefited from therapy. It was that experience that motivated me to want to contribute to the world in a similar way and change careers.
I am excellent at working with women. I am most energized when helping women of all ages become sturdier from within, identifying and healing damaging narratives they've internalized, and helping them develop deep self-regard and self-trust so that they can move through the world understanding their worth and share their unique gifts with the world.
