Our providers offer cannabis use disorder counseling in Kennesaw, GA

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree from Mercer University. I help adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns build resilience and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you're seeking healthier coping strategies, strengthening relationships, or greater confidence, I'm committed to helping you develop the tools and insight needed to achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused interventions to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing coping skills for daily life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm committed to providing a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. No matter where you are in your journey, we'll work together toward healing, resilience, and the life you envision.

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 a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with clients who have experienced depression, both childhood and adult trauma, codependency issues, anxiety, grief/loss, stress, life transitions, and PTSD. I also work with individuals suffering from grief, divorce, and issues pertaining to aging. I offer counseling to teens, adults, and families through a down-to-earth counseling approach.

Together, we'll create a schedule that works for you-whether it's weekly or bi-weekly, in person or online. I'll regularly check in to ensure you're satisfied with your progress, and I'm always open to feedback to adjust your treatment as needed.

My core beliefs are grounded in unconditional positive regard for all. My passion is to help others reach their full potential of emotional peace. If you are ready to begin your journey, feel free to call and make an appointment. I am here and ready to listen!
