Getting to know Leslie Tan

I’m Leslie Tan, a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering therapy in English and Spanish. I work with adults navigating anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, family and relationship concerns, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. I’m especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients of color as they explore who they are and how they want to show up in their relationships and communities. My approach is relational, strengths-based, and LGBTQ+ affirming, with an emphasis on creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I offer a warm, conversational space where you can speak openly and explore what you’re experiencing without judgment. Together, we’ll look at the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and relationship patterns that may be affecting you. I may gently challenge you or offer a different perspective when it could be helpful, but our work will always be collaborative and move at a pace that feels supportive and relevant to your goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll begin by talking about what brings you to therapy and what you hope might change. If you’re unsure where to start, that’s completely okay—we can figure that out together. As I get to know you, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships, including how your experiences and identity may shape them. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporate solution-focused strategies based on your individual needs and goals. Throughout our work together, we’ll check in on your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure that therapy continues to feel relevant, supportive, and useful to you.
