Leslie Rouder

For more than 28 years, I have had the privilege of helping women navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, self-worth, and major life transitions.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply know that something in your life needs to change, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I offer a warm, interactive, and straightforward approach to psychotherapy that goes beyond simply talking about what's happening. Together, we explore the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

After more than 28 years as a therapist, I have learned that no two women-and no two journeys are alike. My style is warm, interactive, and straightforward. I listen carefully , ask questions, offer perspective, and gently challenge you when I believe it can help you move forward. I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. We work together to understand what you need and determine which approaches are most helpful for you. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can be completely yourself, understand yourself more deeply, and begin creating the life you want.

An interactive and straightforward approach. I won't simply sit back and listen. I will ask questions, offer perspective, and help you make connections between what you're experiencing today and the patterns that may be influencing your life.

Compassion and honesty. I will meet you with compassion while also being honest and direct when I believe something could help you move forward. My goal is to help you understand yourself—not to tell you what you should do.

Therapy that is personalized to you. There is no one approach that works for everyone. I draw from more than 28 years of experience and use different therapeutic and experiential techniques based on your individual needs, goals, and readiness for change.

Support through life's transitions. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. I will walk alongside you as you work through what is happening and discover what comes next.

A therapist who genuinely cares about your progress. After more than 28 years of working with women, I continue to feel privileged to be invited into people's lives during vulnerable and important moments. I don't take that trust lightly.

My hope is that you leave therapy not only feeling better, but feeling more connected to yourself, more confident in your ability to handle life's challenges, and more able to create the life you want.
