What was the problem you were having before you reached out to me?…read moreBefore meeting Leslie, I had never done therapy before. It has always been something I wanted to do and something I was interested in but never found the time or courage to follow through with. Growing up, therapy wasn't always something that was positively stigmatized, so it was easy to find excuses to not go. There were things I needed help working through, however, and I knew I wouldn't be able to continue to take it on myself. I found me asking myself the same questions in different ways and always coming to the same conclusions. I'm not saying that I was tormented by these questions/answers but I knew that I needed a fresh, new and professional angle. I wasn't going to be able to dig as deep without having the proper tools to dig. Leslie came in as a kind and understanding voice--asking me questions I have never been asked and exploring my feelings in a way I've never thought to explore them. I'm an introspective person by nature but I would never stop to think of how certain situations made me feel and how it looked to explore those feelings. Each session was quite an interesting and eye-opening exercise. Leslie was always respectful enough to give me time to think about my responses and never seemed to pry or dig too deeply if I wasn't comfortable but she masterfully worded questions in a way that disarmed me and allowed me to share openly and freely. She created a very comfortable environment for being open. I knew that therapy was working for me when I started to openly share my feelings in normal conversation with friends and family. I found myself thinking more deeply about how I was affected by something or taking a particular situation and viewing all of the angles and how I felt about potential outcomes. When speaking with friends, I found myself being more understanding and sensitive--asking them questions about how they felt. It was all kind of "weird" but I knew it was very helpful. Unfortunately, I do not see Leslie anymore but ever since our final session, I feel mentally reborn. The lens I now look through my own feelings with is less judgmental and more understanding. It's okay to feel. It's ok to emote. The mental clarity I have now is far better than it was before she and I sat down for the first time. I am grateful for her service and would highly recommend Leslie to anyone seeking understanding, mental health and a kind ear.

You can just tell that all of those qualities naturally exist for her. Dr. Hemedes keeps it real in the most gentle and tactful way that makes you feel seen and appreciated. She is the advocate you want in your corner. She is that friend where you pick right back up where you left off if time has passed between connecting. She is dynamic in her clinical approaches, which makes her ability to work with diverse populations admirable. Trust me, one consultation with her and you will see what I mean by all of this!

I am very familiar with the incredible work of Melissa MontBlanc, both because I've had the…read moreopportunity to experience her work directly, and because, as a women's health care provider I have been confidently referring my clients to Melissa for years. And each time, my patients return reporting huge, groundbreaking shifts in their orientation to their old patterns and self-limiting beliefs. Melissa has a true gift in her ability to hone in on an individual's underlying belief system and to bring those internal dynamics to light with enormous compassion and care. Many of my clients have had previous lukewarm experiences with therapy because they felt their practitioner was not active and engaged, and they craved someone who would do more than just listen quietly. If you are seeking someone with an active approach to the therapeutic process, Melissa is for you. She is present, dynamic, and thought-provoking, always within a safe container that is filled with respect for the individual's experience. In certain situations she also uses EMDR therapy, which I have witnessed be an incredibly effective tool for individuals who are healing from trauma. If you are dabbling with the idea of embarking on the therapeutic process, you are in very capable hands with this wonderful practitioner. I simply cannot recommend Melissa highly enough!

Prior to meeting her, my anxiety and constant doubt crippled me from doing so many things in my life that I wanted to explore. Working with her helped me see that I don't work for anxiety! I'm not held captive by anxiety! Yes, she worked with me to understand my anxiety issues, but... more importantly, she helped me identify my core values and how I want to live my life. I learned that anxiety is just one part of me. Once I accepted that, I knew that I had a choice, be a slave every day to fighting my anxiety or just let it ride along while I focus and experience the things in life that are most valuable to me. With her incredible wisdom and support, I was able to choose the latter. Thank you, Dr. Z!!!!!!

I used to hold back, saying only what felt safe. But with Jessica, that changed, and for the first time, I could just be honest and completely open. She listens in a way that makes you feel seen, not just heard. The tools she's given me aren't the kind you forget the moment you leave the room, they actually stick with you. If you're looking for a therapist who will actually meet you where you are and help you become someone stronger, more whole, more yourself, it's her. Jessica is, without exaggeration, the best therapist and one of the best human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

Her professionalism is inspirational. She is up to date on her field and it's obvious that she is highly respected in the mental health community. She gets results like no other therapist I've ever heard of and while handling some very difficult cases. You can sense her commitment to excellence. I have never spoken with anyone who had such a consistently high level of insight and the ability to deliver those insights directly and tactfully. I have even been somewhat hesitant to leave a review because her schedule is already very full although that never seemed to get in the way of her ability to give personalized attention. I'm not sure how she does so much. No therapist is smarter, no therapist communicates better, and no therapist works harder. I'm so happy I found her.

When under her care, you will be able to sense that to her, learning about human dysfunction and subsequently helping people with this knowledge, are what drives every fiber of her being.
