★★★★★
After years of struggling with Complex-PTSD, I finally found a therapist who understands the disorder and how to treat it. I have seen many therapists with little or no success. After 2 months of therapy with Leslie I am feeling MUCH improved and am more optimistic than I have ever been. She is guiding me out of what was a very dark, painful existence.
