Leslie Burke, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field and providing individual therapy. I have assisted clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and changes in life. I also worked with individuals with substance use concerns as well as trauma history.
My counseling style is engaging and empathetic. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and working with them to develop goals for treatment. My approach is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Client-Centered and Solution-focused therapies. I feel that it is important to both align with my clients and challenge them to take a look at unhelpful thought at behavior patterns that may be holding them back.
