Leslie Hunter

I am a licensed clinical social worker in practice since 2007. I have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health clinics serving immigrants, a military hospital serving returning service members from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan. I have masters degrees in social work from The Catholic University of America and in international relations from The Johns Hopkins University. I am now in private practice, treating adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, and relationship challenges, among other issues.

Relief from psychological pain comes when we face feelings that we are avoiding and develop new ways of looking at our lives. Through our work together, I will help you challenge unhelpful beliefs and alleviate distressing emotions so that you can free yourself from suffering, regain hope, make better choices, and live a more authentic, satisfying life.

In our first session, we will explore what you need help with, look at some examples of the problem, and formulate tasks for the work we will do together.
