Leslie Hansen, MA, LPCC-S

Leslie Hansen is an independently licensed professional clinical counselor who has placed her emphasis on couples as well as individuals who’ve experienced trauma. No matter when a trauma occurred, it can be difficult to discuss. Leslie is committed to taking the time necessary to help you feel comfortable in processing the event in order to improve your relationships, restore inner peace, and experience greater satisfaction in life. Using Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Leslie can help lessen the impact that thoughts and feelings have on your life. In some cases, the trauma may impact the marriage or family unit. Leslie uses Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples connect on a deeper level. She helps the couple recognize the purposes behind their behavior and inspires each person to see the other person’s positive intent. Taking judgement out of the communication cycle, developing a more positive regard toward one another and creating a more secure bond with a partner helps to restore a sense of trust and hope in the relationship. Other areas of expertise include adult ADHD, parenting education, and codependency recovery. She has prepared and led many parenting workshops, ADHD seminars, marital and premarital intensives, as well as numerous self-help seminars. Leslie provides webcam consults online for clients who request service from their home or remote locations.
