Wild Willow Wellness and Healing
Professional care. Personal connection.
Talk, listen, heal, repeat. When you are tired of carrying it alone, it is time to take the first step.
I’m Glad You Are Here
I’m Leslie, a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 10 years of experience working with teens and pre-teens, adults and young adults, and couples. I’m also an ADHD-CCSP (ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider), which means I’ve completed specialized training to work with people who have a diagnosis of ADHD, or who suspect they might.
I’m passionate about this work, and I truly believe I learn as much from my clients as I hope they learn from me. I’m honored to be the guide on your journey.
Here’s the thing: even though I’m a therapist, I get how awkward or uncomfortable therapy can feel. I often use humor in session to ease that discomfort, and also to make a real connection. I might not be your “average” therapist, but I will be your cheerleader, call out the bullshit, boost your strengths, and be the honest “older sister” if that’s what you need.
If ADHD is part of the picture, whether it’s already diagnosed or still a question, that’s work I know well. Let’s chat.
Mental Healthcare
Anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationships, the weight you have been carrying. Individual, couples, and teen therapy — direct, human, and paced with you.
ADHD & Anxiety
The loops, the bracing, the “I’m fine.” We look at what the worry is protecting and build a way to live that is not all threat-scanning.
Couples Therapy
Same fight, different night. We slow the pattern, say what has been getting skipped, and figure out whether you are repairing or releasing — without a scoreboard.
Kids & Teens
Anxiety, ADHD, identity, school, the stuff they will not say at dinner. A room that takes them seriously and still lets them be a kid.
Women & Trauma
Survival that worked then and costs you now. Pace you control. A room that does not need the whole story on day one.
ADHD & Anxiety Specialist Supporting: women and LGBTQ community
I work with a variety of clients struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, women’s issues, etc. My specialty area is women struggling with ADHD and anxiety. These issues oftentimes transfer into relationship struggles, struggles processing trauma, and struggling within systems built by and for a neurotypical world. In addition to this I have worked extensively with LGBTQ young adults and youth in the past and consider this another large portion of my work.
Does this sound like you?
CARRYING TOO MUCH
Anxiety, self-doubt, or past wounds feel heavy, leaving you disconnected from the person you once knew yourself to be.
CAUGHT IN THE CYCLE
Overthinking, fear, and exhaustion keep looping, and all you want is to feel a sense of ease again.
LONGING TO RECONNECT
Deep down, you’re yearning to rediscover your true self – the confidence, clarity, and wholeness you know is still there.
How I can help
01: SOCIAL JUSTICE INFORMED CARE
Therapy is transformative when you feel safe. This safety can help empower you to change or become aware of systems that impact you. Many challenges we experience are rooted in power imbalances that create experiences of marginalization. True social justice informed care seeks to challenge systems and uplift your voice.
02: TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
Therapy is transformative when you feel safe. This safety can help empower you to change or become aware of systems that impact you. Many challenges we experience are rooted in power imbalances that create experiences of marginalization. True social justice informed care seeks to challenge systems and uplift your voice.
Frequently Asked Questions
In your first session we will take some time to discuss what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing heaviest on you recently, and/or if there are things you have not had a space to say out loud. We will also discuss goals and what you would like to get out of therapy.
That is totally ok! There is a first time for everything, but I totally understand this may feel a little scary, a little spooky, a little overwhelming! I’m here to help ease that discomfort. Therapy can feel like talking to a good friend, but is different in ways related to privacy, unbiased, and therapists help guide you to the rights answers/right path for you.
Absolutely! Ultimately, you are “in charge” of your care. I typically utilize homework, or goals/tasks for you to work on in between sessions. In between sessions is oftentimes when the real work takes place!
I offer in person sessions as well as virtual Telehealth sessions. Virtual sessions take place on a HIPAA compliant platform for your privacy.
I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and cash.
I accept several insurance plans including but not limited to BCBS, Aetna, united healthcare, etc. I also offer sliding scale and private pay. Contact me with additional questions related to billing.
