Leslie Hagemeier

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 3 years. I am also a Trust Based Relational Intervention practitioner. My goal is to meet the mental health needs of individuals and families by equipping them with practical tools that foster healing, resilience, and meaningful life change. With over 25 years of experience in child welfare, I have a deep understanding of the impact trauma can have on daily functioning, relationships, and self-worth. I am especially passionate about helping clients build resilience and effective coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges. I strive to support clients during some of their most difficult moments with grace, compassion, and a genuine understanding of their unique needs.

I use an integrative, evidence-based therapeutic approach that is individualized and holistic, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to best support each client. Together, we will develop client-centered, strengths-based goals designed to promote growth, healing, and improved daily functioning.

I believe every individual is unique, and therapy should meet people where they are. While trauma can be deeply debilitating, I firmly believe that healing is possible. Through building trust, developing effective coping skills, and strengthening emotional awareness, individuals can improve their lives and relationships moving forward with hope and purpose.

For the first session expect to talk about client concerns that brings them to seek therapy, modalities for treatment, what to expect in a typical session, goals regarding outcomes they would like to achieve. We would also cover mandatory reporting, confidentiality, documentation and limits, voluntary participation, client rights, and cancellation policy.
