Leslie Middleton Walters, EdD, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience in the mental health field. In times of death, divorce, financial issues, family relational problems, or any issue that brings about episodes of emotional unrest, Leslie believes that it is always best to reach out to someone that can assist with de-escalating fears and re-establishing hope, and provide encouragement to persevere during the dark times. Her 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.

Leslie completed both her Master of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling and her Master of Science (MS) in Guidance and Counseling at Fort Valley State University. She went on to complete her Doctor of Education (EdD) in Counseling Psychology at Argosy University. Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and other evidenced-based practices, Leslie assists those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future. While her degrees have provided her with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been Leslie's hands-on experience in helping others that has given her the emotional tools to help those 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 am Dr. B, and I'm excited to work with you! I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 7+ years of experience supporting individuals through challenges such as trauma, grief, marital conflict, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I work with diverse client backgrounds and strive to offer a calm, grounded, and authentic space for healing. My approach is laid-back and supportive, helping clients feel safe enough to be open, reflective, and engaged in their pursuit of emotional well-being.

I earned my master’s degree and doctorate in professional counseling from Amridge University. My background includes working with individuals navigating complex emotional experiences and life transitions. I draw from evidence-based, person-centered approaches to help clients deepen self-understanding and build meaningful coping skills.

I want you to feel more grounded and less alone each time you leave our sessions. You deserve support, understanding, and a space where your emotions are honored. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment. You will be welcomed with respect, compassion, and a calm environment to explore what you need for your well-being.

I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect. I work with individuals and help them to gain healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

I love to be collaborative with clients and be intuitive to specific needs they may have in the moment. That helps clients to feel seen and understood during their healing journey.

Healing is something we all must experience but being able to trust someone you can be vulnerable with makes it so much easier.
