I have been passionate about the care and wellness of adult women since I began practicing in the early 1990's. I have worked in a variety of settings that have given me helpful experience in treating issues that women commonly face such as body shame, unhealthy eating patterns, unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic and verbal abuse. I follow the latest research findings related to the neurological basis behind therapeutic change and make it a point to empower my clients by teaching them everything that I have learned about healthy change and skills that have been shown to nurture a sense of peace and wellbeing.
I have been trained in EMDR, which is a specialized approach in treating trauma. I have also received extensive training in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, an approach that acts as the foundation for my work with clients. I also utilize helpful techniques from other disciplines as needed when working with clients.
I schedule my own sessions with clients so that they feel supported from the moment they make their first call to schedule an intake session. Coming for counseling can be daunting, so I do everything I can to make the process comfortable.Please visit my website at Leslie McKenna Counseling.com
