Are you struggling with your mood? Experiencing difficulty with motivation, feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty in finding moments of joy? Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, eating/body image issues, the loss of a loved one, gender identity issues or a life transition. Whatever the issue, I am here to listen, to help you identify and process feelings, to assist you in developing life skills, and ultimately to find hope and to feel better.

Leslie Golden provides individual psychotherapy to adults with an emphasis on exploration, collaboration, and discovery. She addresses a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, identity, women's issues, interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, and chronic pain and other medical challenges. Leslie works with her patients from a psychodynamic lens to help identify the powerful forces that shape their lives and are often hiding in plain sight.

I enjoy working with persons of all ages, on a variety of topics. My work includes individual, couples, consensual/ethical non-monogamous relationships and families. I am part of the queer community and work extensively with issues involving the LGBTQ+ community. Another area of interest in my work has been with perpetrators of sexual abuse/assault and persons struggling with sexual/sexuality and gender issues. I have lived abroad and enjoy working with persons from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds now residing in the US.

In our work together, movement and change will start with the creation of a space that is safe and welcoming. At a pace that is intentional and purposeful, we will work together to find “stuck” spots, challenge old patterns, and connect you more deeply to your own compassion and gentleness for yourself. I am happy to help in these (and many other!) areas: Life transitions (change, loss, parenthood), Identity/ Sense of self, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma Processing, Relational work, and Stress Management. Reach out to me to see if we may be a good fit!

I offer extensive counseling services to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationships and family conflicts. These presenting issues may include marriage and/or relationships, parenting, general life decisions, work conflict, self-identity, self-esteem, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, sexuality and sex addictions. I work with clients to discover the root of the problem, construct a treatment plan and guide their growth through various counseling methods in our work together.

Asking for help is a sign of strength and courage, but sharing the vulnerability of your challenges and burdens can be difficult. I offer a safe place for you to be seen, heard, and release pain that has outlived its purpose. Warmth, honesty, trust, and compassion are the essence of my client partnerships. I engage in meaningful relationships with people who seek greater self-awareness, clarity of decision-making, increased resiliency, new skills, and freedom from what’s not working.

I Have been a licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing psychotherapy at Moontree Psychotherapy since 2008, although, I have been working with adults, children and families in a variety of capacities for over 15 years. I am a Humanistic-Mindfulness based psychotherapist. Whether you are seeking treatment for mental illness or need help with managing the circumstances in your life, I pay attention to all the parts of the human system ( body, mind, emotion, spirituality, relationships) and help you bring them into balance. .

I believe that everyone is unique, and that this uniqueness should be celebrated and used as a tool for growth and healing. I employ a person-centered and trauma-informed approach as it encourages the client to be in charge of the therapeutic process. I describe it as I'm holding the flashlight so you can find the right path. I look forward to meeting you and going on this journey together!

Therapy is effective when the therapist is guiding the client down a path that the therapist has already successfully completed. My heightened emotional sensitivity to myself and the world surrounding me led me on a journey of self-discovery where I learned to resolve my personal losses and access my power and intuition. Through the lessons of my resolved cycles of suffering, I have found consistent access to my emotional maturity and intuitive wisdom: Giving me the gift of living in the flow of life. Once I became grounded in the depth & flow of my being, I felt called to guide others who are on a similar journey.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m passionate about meeting people where they’re at and working together from there. I believe people are experts on their own lives. In our work together, I’ll collaborate with you to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to heal and build a life and relationships that are authentic to you. In my work I consider the many factors, both internal and external, that influence clients’ lives. I’ll get to know you and what you bring to therapy as an individual, while also considering the relationships, interactions, and larger systems that impact you.

In my practice I work with Women and Women's Issues, Eating Disorders, Body Image, Neurodivergent populations, Anxiety, and Couples. Each person is unique, which is why I tailor my therapeutic approach so that it is appropriate and respects the individuality of each client. My goal as your therapist is to assist you in navigating your mental health journey while honoring your individual beliefs, acknowledging neurodiversity, and integrating the strengths you bring into the therapy room into our work together.

My clients are individuals and relationships that are curious about what a different and more fulfilling future might look like. I believe that every person's identity and experience is complex and worth understanding deeply. I also believe that everyone has a unique and powerful set of skills and strengths (even if they don't know it). Whether you are looking to connect with yourself or your loved ones, heal from trauma, relieve anxiety/depression symptoms, or move through a challenging life transition, I will meet you with an authentic therapeutic presence that welcomes creativity, exploration, and growth.

Currently accepting new clients. Therapy is a space that we build together. My role is to hold a container for you to explore, feel, process, and heal without judgment and yours is to show up and be open. Because these conversations are inherently vulnerable, I believe it’s crucial to ground our relationship in safety, trust, and permission. In sessions I bring warmth, compassion, and curiosity and adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. You know yourself the best and together we will find meanings and narratives that resonate with you.

Hello! My name is Megan. As a lesbian and AuDHD therapist at LP, providing queer-affirming and neurodivergent-affirming care is a priority to me. While we work together to help you process difficult situations and achieve your goals, I will do my part to ensure that our sessions are a safe and validating space for you to show up with all of your parts. My role is meeting you exactly where you’re at on your healing journey to support and empower you along the way.

We don’t have to have something “wrong” with us to come to therapy; instead, we can explore ways for you to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Sometimes we just need space to show up as ourselves and have the support to explore some of life’s difficulties. I take time to understand your unique experiences, identities, and life context. I approach our relationship with an open and accepting mindset, understanding that your feeling of comfort and safety in the therapy room is essential to creating a trusting bond and healing atmosphere.

I firmly believe in the possibility and power of personal change. And having a little support or guidance along the way!  Therapy can be as simple as having an hour to talk about you with a good listener.  It can also mean digging deep into family issues, attachment patterns, and current interpersonal relationships.  Perhaps you want to learn strategies for reducing anxiety.  Or discover why that co-worker brings out so much stress and what to do about it… I first like to learn about your goals - what are you hiring me for?  Then we’ll develop a plan to work together toward them.

From the outside you look like you've got it all handled. And yet, the toll that your sense of personal and professional responsibility takes, the cost of giving more and more of what you have less and less of lately - time, energy, emotional bandwidth - has become overwhelming. When things are hard - family crises, financial worries, new demands at work, relationship problems, caring for aging parents, launching children - you're the one people turn to. Of course they do. You're good at this. But you need a place to catch your own breath, to get support and learn how to include your own hopes and wishes in the mix of your life.

My primary focus is building an authentic client-therapist relationship. With my unpretentious authenticity, I aim for my client to fully understand that our space is judgment-free where they can feel safe. I possess a practical, down-to-earth approach that allows individuals to feel the support that they need. My philosophy is to assist my clients in finding their strengths. I do this by teaching them how to use their true strength by managing complicated feelings and situations, ultimately leading them to reach their goals. I also possess lived experience as an adoptee.
