Leslie Kathleen Hara, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Leslie Kathleen!

I believe therapy is a partnership. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe container for you to be your authentic self and work through areas in your life that you would like to improve. I am a trauma-informed, holistic clinician who takes into account your mind, body, and spirit.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and adolescents of all backgrounds. I have experience treating anxiety, panic, depression, and women's issues.

My approach

I tailor my practice to each client. We will decide together what type of therapy will work for you. I use a warm, person-centered approach and evidence-based practices, including CBT and DBT.

My communication style

I am warm, person-centered, and client-focused. I believe in creating a safe space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, and goals for therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that people need support, and I am passionate about seeing others improve their lives. I think everyone has a unique way of seeing the world; sometimes, we need help navigating difficult situations and emotions. I am the person to help you navigate.

My goals for you

If goal setting is appropriate for you, I believe in creating goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I want you to feel confident in your ability to set and accomplish goals.

Our first session

During the first session, we will get to know each other a bit and discuss the therapeutic process and confidentiality. We will explore what your hopes are for therapy and how to support you best. I will respectfully gather information about your history to have a full view of how to best support you.
