Leslie Anselmo

Leslie Anselmo understands the unique challenges faced by Autistic Adults navigating a world largely designed for neurotypicals. Many grapple with symptoms such as extreme fight or flight responses, difficulties in social connections, irritability, short-term memory loss, the struggle to form meaningful relationships, and physical signs of trauma. Leslie assures her clients that if they recognize any of these experiences, they are not alone on their journey. With a profound belief in the inherent courage and strength within each individual, she creates a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for therapy, empowering her clients to reclaim their lives on their own terms. In this supportive environment, clients have the opportunity to practice real-life experiences, equipping themselves with essential tools to face challenges outside of therapy with confidence. Utilizing simple yet effective techniques, Leslie helps to shift negative self-talk and facilitate trauma processing. She is deeply committed to understanding her clients—listening, empathizing, and being a steadfast ally in their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
