Meet Leslye Herrera

LCSW-A, LCAS-A
Therapist

Leslye Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCAS-A) who is committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, whether it be general mental health struggles like anxiety or emotional regulation, or more specific concerns such as addiction or substance abuse. Leslye creates a welcoming space where her clients feel safe to explore their life experiences, hardships, or deepest fears, while offering guidance, support, knowledge or simply a safe place to shift, improve, develop, identify and/or settle into their best, authentic selves. Leslye’s specialties include, but are not limited to, working with people who are struggling with compulsive behaviors, addiction, and emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, breaking free from negative patterns or habits, and helping clients build a life that is aligned with their true values. Additionally, Leslye is fluent in both English and Spanish and offers full therapeutic services in either language.

Leslye tailors her therapeutic approach to the unique needs of the individual client, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but never sticks to a single method or modality. Her approach is flexible and collaborative and is most importantly centered on establishing a real connection with her clients while fostering the self-awareness and self-compassion needed to sustain lasting growth. And while Leslye is trained to use a variety of therapeutic modalities and approaches, her niche focus is utilizing Motivational Interviewing (MI) and mindfulness techniques as these approaches have empowered the most meaningful change for her clients.

Leslye’s mission is to help her clients experience a life beyond their struggles. Her goal is in offering the guidance and support necessary to build an authentic alliance that allows her clients to develop genuine self-compassion, resilience, and a toolbox that can help create a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re dealing with the pain of struggling with substance use/abuse or general mental health, emotional, life challenges, Leslye is here to walk alongside you and will help you discover and fulfill your true potential.

Outside of work, Leslye enjoys spending time with her family, working out, and stays active with her dogs, Jeezy and Fifi.
