I am looking forward to walking this path with you." Leslie Weber is a Licenced Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Leslie has always been a therapist but she hasn’t always been a counselor. Her career began as an Occupational Therapist working in a plethora of settings with clients young and old: in schools, hospitals, geriatric care centers, and lastly in a forensic mental health facility. Leslie learned so much from all her clients and mental health was involved in every interaction. It was at the core of every successful outcome. Once Leslie realized this, she transitioned her career from therapist to counselor. It was challenging work and she became adept at sorting through complex and challenging situations in order to help clients make meaningful change in their lives.Leslie completed her Bachelor of Science (BS) in Occupational Therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. She completed her Master of Science (MS) in Professional Counseling at Concordia University Wisconsin. Blending Leslie’s background in physical health with aspects of mental health has allowed her to take a comprehensive approach to making meaningful change and achieving noticeable outcomes for clients. At the same time, Leslie’s personal roles as a spouse, a mother, and a daughter to aging parents provided personal experiences which added to her practice. She navigated through postpartum depression, the loss of child through miscarriage, advocating for a child with special needs in the school system, and the unique family dynamics of a child with special needs and one without. Leslie also experienced the loss of her parents and what it was like to be on the other side of the medical system (as a patient and family member). These experiences helped her grow into a more compassionate counselor.Leslie is a problem-solver. She loves puzzles and games: logic puzzles, block puzzles, solitaire, even crossword puzzles in which she has to look up answers. She loves figuring it out. Leslie is great at taking the mess of pieces and figuring out where everything goes so that it makes sense. The same is true as a counselor. Leslie is great at looking at a person's whole story, gathering all the information, sorting through it, and putting the pieces together in a way that makes sense. She’s a great listener. That's how she gathers information. Leslie is good at asking the right questions. That's how she figures out what is important. She’s great at helping people figure out their own solutions. Every puzzle is different and often there is more than one solution. You and Leslie can figure it out together.Have you found yourself caught in a way of functioning that you know isn't working for you but you just can't seem to get out of it? How you function in the world is based on beliefs that originated from your experiences. As a child, you watched and learned how the world worked, how other people operated, and where you fit in. You developed ideas called core beliefs based on what you saw. These core beliefs are how you navigated through life and they are still operating today. The problem is that the world is a different place now and the same core beliefs that worked then, won't always work now. The result is you get stuck in a way of functioning that isn't working. Let Leslie help you figure out why it is so difficult to make changes even when you know you should. Together you and Leslie can figure out what your core beliefs are and how they might be getting in your way. It can be easy to get lost in your own story. Let Leslie help you sort through your story, key in on what the heart of the problem is, and help you figure out what to do.
