Lesli has been my therapist for a year now and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is…read morethoughtful, direct, patient, and overall very caring about my well-being. When we had our first session, she wasn't trying to blindly sign me and my partner up. She wanted to make sure we were comfortable with her and she was able to help us. Since then, she has been both my couples counselor and my individual counselor. I could not ask for someone better. She really helped me understand how to care for myself and regulate my emotions. She has helped me and my partner connect at a deeper level and most of all, has taught me to take care of myself. Highly recommend Lesli, as she is the counselor you both need AND want!

Uncaring and technologically inept. She's only interested in the most simple and surface issues,…read morenot actually helping people with REAL trauma/problems. For the initial consultation she said she'd send me a link but it was 1 hour till the visit start time and I still hadn't received anything. She was closed off and unhelpful, a lot of one liner answers that continuously tried to put the blame on me. "It's probably in your junk mail" etc. I had to send her a screen shot of my junk mail folder to make her realize it was HER who didn't send the link. Took A LOT of emailing back and forth before finally 5 minutes before the appointment she sent me a link to Zoom. When we finally got it working and got into the visit, I told her about the main issues I wanted to talk about in our consult and she balked and said she thought these issues were too difficult for her to handle. I just took a huge leap of faith and confided some very difficult things to this woman on day 1 of our visits and her reaction is the equivalent of, "Wow you're too ****ed up!" Not exactly the response you'd expect from a professional therapist, especially one who claims she had 12 years experience in an in-patient setting where you would think she got to work with some VERY sick people. However, she agreed to attempt to work with me at first, and that's when all the technological issues got in the way. After the visit she was supposed to send me a link to the patient portal to get signed up, finally I received it but when I tried to log in using the temporary 6 digit password the email was telling me to use, it kept saying "user/password incorrect". She had the system generate a new password and I was STILL getting these issues. Beyond that, she didn't seem interested in getting it fixed. Her response was "Let me know if you're able to log in," after I'd already emailed twice saying I couldn't. It was at this point I gave up and decided I'm better off trying to find someone who actually cares about helping me with my psychological issues. I believe part of the reason she refused to fix the patient portal was because she simply didn't want to treat me. She continuously made statements like, "If you find someone else I understand... " and then refused to help get the portal working so I could sign paperwork/pay bills. This is a therapist who is afraid to tackle ACTUAL trauma. How can you even call yourself a therapist??? On top of that, she has no idea how to work a computer, yet insists on doing telehealth only. She told me for my issues I should be seen in-person, yet most providers these days refuse to do in-person visits, as does she. If you think you can get better results from this woman, you're welcome to try but if you have anything more serious than passing sadness or anxiety good luck. That is if you're even able to get past the first visit due to her technological ignorance. She didn't even give me any referral to someone who would be better to help me than her, she simply hid behind these technological issues in order to turn me away without actually saying no.

I waited till a few years later because I did not want to have this review affect sessions with my…read morehusband. John Tompkins was my husband's therapist for a few years. He invited me to a joint session. First thing, I was greeted with a 2 sided page with a list of more than 100 words and phrases in small font that were considered "red light" words that I was not supposed to use. So right off, I was hesitating with every sentence so that I could check the 2 pages and use the "green light" words. Later on, when I started crying, John sat back, rolled his eyes, and said "oh please!". I said to him - "are people not allowed to cry here?". He then started to tell me he's not a male chauvinist; the "proof" is that he's married and has daughters. That doesn't prove anything. The last straw was when I was talking a lot, he held up his hands in a time out gesture, in a T, hitting the top hand on the bottom hand. I said "wow what was that?". He said what's wrong with that? I didn't do this - and he stuck up his middle finger. That was it. Never went back. Needless to say, he did not influence my husband in a positive way. I am a medical health care provider, and have been to therapy myself. This was very inappropriate and unethical behavior for a therapist - actually for anyone!
