Leslie Middleton Walters, LPC
My primary goal is to help others face their challenges, fears, and become the person that they want to be through the development of lifelong coping skills, in an environment that is accepting and open to individualized thoughts and ideas. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and other evidenced based practices, I assist those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future.
​
While having a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, and a Master of Science in Guidance and Counseling have provided me with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been my hands-on experience in helping others that has given me the skills needed to help individuals take that first step to a new beginning. It is because of these experiences, that my counseling practices are built upon a foundation of faith, hope, trust, perseverance, and the understanding that helping others is one of the greatest privileges of my life!
I fully believe that “character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved”.
~Helen Keller
