Leslie helped the participants of the Black Women Rising Retreat building a strong foundation for personal wellness and self-care. Through her useful guidance and techniques many participants felt that they had what they needed to make meaningful changes in their lives. Leslie is a talented counseling professional that has made a true impact on our experience.

Our church was delighted to have Leslie present to our women’s retreat about mental/emotional self-care. I knew the benefits of individual counseling and therapy, but her presentation style was transformative for our women in attendance as well. Leslie was engaging, addressed all of our questions, and even followed up with those of us who wanted more specific resources after the session was over.

Leslie was a guest speaker on my podcast and discussed generalized anxiety disorder. Her down-to-earth personality and wealth of knowledge made our conversation so enjoyable. Leslie provided helpful tips on managing anxiety and best supporting loved ones who deal with this disorder. Her interview ranks as the #1 episode for my podcast for number of listens and engagement!

Identify U, led by counselor Leslie Stevens, was a welcome avenue during a period of crisis.  As most of us know, we faced two pandemics in 2020 COVID-19 and racial injustice.  As a Black woman, my community was being devastated by both of these epidemics.  I ran to the opportunity to participate in Identify U because it was a safe place for me to express my emotions, frustrations, fears, and garner support from a group of black women.
