Leslie Bell, Ph.D. Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Social Worker
ABOUT ME: I am deeply committed to helping you discover ways to have more rewarding relationships, feel more satisfaction in your work, and experience more aliveness and creativity in your life. In our work together, I will work collaboratively with you to explore what is troubling you and to uncover the patterned ways that you respond to life’s challenges.
While I have extensive training in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also use insights from solution focused and cognitive behavioral approaches to help you experience relief from what troubles you. My areas of clinical expertise include sexuality, pregnancy and fertility, and transitions to parenthood. I am also particularly helpful to people struggling with: life transitions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-harming behaviors.
STYLE
IN THE THERAPY SESSION:In the beginning, I work to create a sense of safety so that you can share as much as possible about your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I am warm and supportive and will stay closely attuned to you and your unique experiences. And as we understand a bit more about what is troubling you, I will sometimes challenge you in an understanding and non-judgmental way to help you to reach your goals.
