Getting to know Leslie Gaynor

Do you feel misunderstood in your relationships? Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? Are you craving a warm and open-minded environment where you can be fully yourself, free from pressure and judgment? I work with clients to improve their lives by building inner strengths, healing the wounds left by trauma, improving communication skills, and evolving into their best-and truest-selves. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Lewis University, my approach to therapy is holistic and creative, incorporating mind, body, and spirit. I always value the opportunity to work within clients' own belief systems. I'm an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and have experience providing treatment for adolescents and adults facing LGBTQ+ issues. I also specialize in working with parents of defiant or disruptive teens. Whether you're looking to improve your mental health, your relationships, or other aspects of your life, I'm ready and honored to support you on your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients leave our sessions with improved problem-solving and communication skills, strategies for dealing with anxiety and depression, and a sense of hope for the future.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
