Lesley Neifert Kellogg is a compassionate and dedicated counselor, equipped with credentials including LCAS, LCMHC, and NCC. With a commitment to making the therapy search easier, she understands how challenging it can be to find the right therapist and navigate the complexities of insurance. Lesley welcomes individuals who may have previous therapy experience or those who are cautiously exploring their options for the first time. Her primary goal is to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to examine the obstacles that stand in the way of leading fulfilling lives. Utilizing a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing (MI), biofeedback, and family systems therapy, Lesley is always prepared to clarify these approaches for those interested. She aims to foster a greater understanding of self-care and to encourage the development of healthy relationships with oneself and others. Lesley acknowledges that coping skills developed during difficult times can become hindrances later in life, and she takes joy in assisting clients in addressing these patterns to uncover their truest selves. In her laid-back sessions, she encourages clients to feel at home, adopting a 'shoes off' philosophy. As she believes everyone is their own expert, Lesley provides valuable outside perspectives to facilitate personal growth. For those feeling uncertain about whether therapy is the right step, she reassures that beginning this journey should not add to life's stress. Lesley eagerly anticipates the opportunity to connect with new clients and support them on their path to healing.
