About me
It is very important to me that young people feel comfortable to be themselves with me. I am patient in my approach and have worked with teens experiencing difficult life challenges. While I see people of all ages, I have a special focus in adolescent mental well-being. I have helped adolescents with juvenile records, some with substance abuse issues, and those who are just struggling with everyday concerns. I have also helped adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, PTSD, and family concerns.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - trained to acutely understand the family process. My education and experience is in all aspects of the individual, family, and couple dynamics.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Leslie M. Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Leslie's sessions with our daughter for over half a year now have proven to be very beneficial and have helped her address and overcome issues related to anxiety and school attendance. The online format has worked for us very well. too.
Leslie is an incredible therapist! In just a few sessions, she helped my husband and me navigate difficult conversations that we had been avoiding. Her guidance made a huge difference, allowing us to communicate more openly and move in the right direction. Highly recommend her expertise!
Very great listener and just her personality speaks for itself. She is always present. The most important thing is I trust her and trust is hard for me.
Love her approach with our specific needs and requests so far. She is a great listener and blends straight talk with humor.
through & through leslie has shown the utmost understanding & compassion with each session. she actively encourages me to take initiatives inside my comfort zone with the right amounts of pressure. leslie is fuuullll of knowledge !! her advice & guidance most definitely helps me channel who i am at my core whilest navigating through different/difficult situations. i love that she assigns tasks/homework. it gives an opportunity/aids my self-determination to progress. 10/10, 5 star yelp whatever it is. leslie deserves it; she is amazing at her job & helping period.
I cannot recommend my therapist enough. From the very first session, I felt heard, understood, and validated. Their empathetic and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to share my struggles, and their guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate difficult situations and emotions. Their expertise and professionalism are apparent, and I appreciate the personalized attention and care they provide in each session. Thanks to their support and encouragement, I feel better equipped to manage my mental health and well-being. I am grateful for their contributions to my overall growth and healing, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking therapy.
Leslie is really easy to talk to and provides me the support I need to handle a variety of issues. I really appreciate her role in my life.
Leslie is amazing. I’ve been seeing her for almost two years now and we’ve worked through things I’ve not been able to admit to myself. I’ve done therapy before, but not deep therapy. I wasn’t ready, I was afraid. But I’m working through it with her. The hardest part about doing the deep therapy is actually starting it. Once i talked about it with Leslie, we examined it. Talked about it some more. And now we talk about other stuff. She’s been wonderful and I highly recommend her.
Amazing therapist, so kind and understanding of my needs! Helps me face my fears and struggles and just overall amazing for what I needed to receive from my therapist!
Leslie is just what I needed in a therapist. She is kind and compassionate. Leslie also looks at the bigger picture recommending I seek a diagnosis for neurodivergence. I highly recommend her for counseling needs.
Leslie listens and helps guide me on a path of recovery. I am grateful for matching.
Leslie, has been very helpful to my husband and in couple counseling. We appreciate her grounded and authentic nature. She seems to pay close attention to what our challenges are gives us real tools to make changes.
Excellent listener and great at establishing rapport. Super empathetic but not a pushover! 10 out of 10.
Leslie has been great to work with. She’s attentive and creates a safe environment to process life’s challenges.
Leslie gets it. She gets me and that makes a difference.
Leslie has been very supportive and understanding of my needs and what I wanted to get out of therapy. She is not only kind and nurturing but gave me great tools for self-improvement and how to overcome the issues I was facing. I would definitely recommend her and teen counseling.
Leslie is very kind with her words and also has some tough love to influence change in yourself, such as assigning homework and things to try.
Leslie is super nice and very friendly. She is exceptionally supportive and very attentive to my mental state and will always check my status to begin the session. Thank you so much Leslie!
Leslie Brown took plenty of time to dig deep and to make meaningful connection with my son and to understand our needs and concerns. I highly recommend Ms. Brown; she is a skilled professional with a big heart!
Leslie makes me feel comfortable and understood
Leslie is the best therapist I have ever had. I recommended teen counseling to 3 ladies today already. I don’t know who matched us with her but the algorithm worked perfectly!!!
She is absolutely amazing and I love working with her!!
I specifically chose Leslie to be my 1st therapist and it was the best decision i’ve made.
Being paired with the perfect therapist like Leslie was godsent. I was worried about trying therapy after some not so great experiences, but Leslie heard me and tried to understand me right from the first meeting. I never feel judged or ridiculed, Leslie does a wonderful job at creating a safe space to talk, to be challenged, to do better! I love her and feel like she really has helped me in sooo many ways, my appreciation for her cannot be expressed enough!
Leslie is amazing! It feels like I'm talking to an aunt. She's so comforting and warm, but keeps me honest. She doesn't judge and always reminds me that nothing is wrong with me. She always has different ways to help and keep me grounded. She's the best!
Leslie has been extremely patient, balanced, kind and also Down to Business with my husband and I.
We are trying hard to navigate ourselves back to a place where we can like & enjoy each other again despite our struggles and history and I always feel like Leslie is here for all of it.
I appreciate that stable feeling from her very much.
Leslie is a listener! She has a unique way of taking in what I say and saying it back to me in a way that guides me towards an answer on my own. This is my second time with teen counseling. The first therapist I got was ok but I lucked out with Leslie!
I’ve been seeing Leslie for a few months and she is great. She’s helped me through a lot of tough stuff with no judgement, is never overbearing and always respectful. I appreciate everything she has done for me and recommend her 100%.
Therapy with Leslie Brown was great. She made me feel heard and respected throughout every session. She is very resourceful and quick to provide help when needed. Would definitely recommend her to anyone starting therapy on teen counseling.
Leslie is easy to talk to and always took the time to listen to things that I said to her. I felt heard in our sessions and she would often seek out worksheets, activities or online tests to work together on in our sessions to help me progress towards my goals. She always approached therapy with compassion, respect and has a very caring nature.
Absolutely amazing! Everything about Leslie is a blessing! I’m so grateful to have been paired with her!
Leslie is awesome.
Having trouble navigating times that suit us both though as i'm in sydney australia and she's in Nth Carolina USA.
The first session was great. Leslie made me felt comfortable and seeing this is my first time seeking help, I really appreciate that she made it easy and comfortable.
