Leslie Davidson
(She/Her/Hers)
Counselor
I am here to help clients of all identities and backgrounds with managing their emotions and living a more balanced life!
Hi! My name is Leslie Davidson and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Tempe, AZ. I help clients to manage their stress as well as their emotions by providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness as these evidenced based practices have been shown to help in the reduction of stress, anxiety and depression. It is my belief that understanding our past is a great way to balance out our present and so I like to guide clients through some of their history and walk with them as they process through their feelings over some of the significant events that have happened in their lives. I also believe that having a great sense of humor and being light hearted are important elements when working with people.
