I'm Leslie, founder of Essence of Life Therapy & Wellness. I hold an MSW from Howard University, specializing in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and family issues. With 7 years of experience, I'm committed to helping you find the essence of what you truly desire in life. I believe in your expertise in your journey, and in the strength you possess to conquer challenges. Taking the brave step to start therapy is commendable, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I advocate for clarity and honesty, employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside techniques like DBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to tackle challenges effectively.

After our first session, expect to feel empowered, calm, and inspired to pursue your personal aspirations. I trust in your self-awareness, and my aim is to support, gently guide, and collaborate with you to foster lasting transformations. Therapy sessions with me are conducted in a compassionate, inclusive, and transparent atmosphere.
