Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Dr. Lesanics, and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I work with individuals across the lifespan—children, adolescents, and adults—and I specialize in helping people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, and I’m here to support you on your path toward growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered, creating a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. While I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, I currently work using other modalities, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with a focus on mindfulness, enhancing coping skills, and boosting overall satisfaction in life, relationships, and work.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, we’ll take time to build a trusting relationship and understand where you are right now. I’ll ask about your history, any previous therapy, and what’s prompting you to seek support today. From there, we’ll talk about your goals, and I’ll explain exactly how we’ll work together to help you move toward your desired outcomes.
