Leslie Velgach LCSW

There are times we might feel like we have failed, are stuck, or feel like there is no hope for change. Asking for help can be very difficult, and it takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out to another. I believe therapy is not just for those experiencing a life crisis or current difficulty - therapy is an opportunity to gain new insight into self, learn new skills, and position oneself to increase health and wellness. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches therapy from a relational, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to speak freely.

Using a combination of behavioral modalities including DBT, CBT and ACT, I work with teens and adults who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, life-transitions, cross-cultural issues, relationship struggles; and mothers, fathers, and guardians experiencing the hardship of raising a family. I provide individual therapy for ages 12 and up.
