About
Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

Relational therapy, also known as interpersonal therapy (IPT), is an approach to counseling that focuses on the client’s relationships and social context as central to their well-being. It emphasizes the importance of connection, mutual influence, and cultural factors in shaping individuals’ experiences and identities.
Relational therapy explores the client’s relationships, past and present, to understand how they impact emotions, behaviors, and self-concept. You and your therapist and client collaborate to examine patterns of interaction, communication styles, and relational dynamics, with the goal of fostering greater awareness, empathy, and authenticity in relationships.
