Loneliness, the stresses of work and home life, and having unresolved conflicts with loved ones are just some factors that can impact your mental health. A lot of us secretly wish we had somebody who we could communicate our thoughts, feelings, and worries to even though we may not hear them say it. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place for you to do just that. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and their families who are experiencing problems related to Depression, Anxiety, Self-esteem, Behavioral Issues, Relationship issues, and Trauma. I utilize a variety of approaches to therapy that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, Adlerian and Psychodynamic interventions. I believe that we all have the capacity for change and focus on helping you to increase your self-worth, using mindfulness skills, mood management, and self-empowerment. I offer a free phone consultation to explore your thoughts about therapy and what you might expect from our sessions.

I help women who've left painful or abusive relationships let go of shame & self-doubt so they can heal, find their voice and grow in self-confidence. I know what it's like to feel compelled to sacrifice boundaries & self-identity to adapt to unhealthy relationships or family dynamics. I can help you learn the skills and tools needed to leave behind the never-ending cycle of rock bottom and get out of 'survival mode'. Recognizing manipulation becomes easier when you understand the tactics used to side-step your boundaries. I will guide you in reconnecting to your self-trust so you can attract the relationships you deserve. My background includes rape crisis, domestic violence and grief work. I'm a personal trainer & wellness coach. My style is compassion focused & trauma informed. I have an open, empathic & curious nature. I'm passionate about helping you identify & understand any patterns of sabotage so that you can learn how to take better care of yourself. I believe each woman has her own answers & inner wisdom. I will help you recognize and reconnect to yours. We work towards your goals in a way that feels safe to you. Both my personal and professional experience informs my work with clients. Healing occurs in authentic connections with others. You are not alone on this journey.

Are you struggling with sadness, motherhood stress, anger, relationships, or family? Are you feeling emotionally drained? Or maybe your child is having behavioral challenges, racial identity issues, or a hard time adjusting to a relocation, divorce or separation, or other change(s) in their life? I help rebuild and reunify individuals and families by teaching coping skills and better communication skills to children ages 3-18, adults, and families. I use different therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of my clients and achieve results. I help children and adults learn how to understand, control, and share their emotions appropriately, and make better choices. In addition to talk therapy with adults and adolescents, I also use play therapy with children who have a hard time appropriately expressing their feelings and experiences. I specialize in family therapy, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, race, ethnicity, and cultural identity issues, working with children and adolescents with behavioral challenges, and parenting. I provide clients with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment, to openly talk about their thoughts and feelings. I take an open-minded approach to client wellness and consider the client's work life, family traditions, cultural, and spiritual beliefs. I provide support for developing a new way of seeing and moving through life.

Dr. Hammond is a post-graduate resident therapist who specializes in building trusting relationships. Lesley works jointly with her clients to create workable and attainable goals in support of each individual’s needs. Dr. Hammond’s therapeutic foundation is based on providing a safe place for clients to express, explore, and better understand their vulnerabilities and strengths. Dr. Hammond’s undergraduate studies in Psychology were completed at Kennesaw State University. Lesley received her Master of Arts from Argosy University, Atlanta, and continued to complete her counseling doctoral program at Argosy as well. Lesley utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Person-Centered and Strength-Based interventions. “I have found that when individuals are supported through these theoretical interventions, they have the ability to better understand and develop coping skills to overcome their unhelpful thoughts and behaviors," she says. One of the most valuable lessons Dr. Hammond learned was that “everyone in the program had a story” and “whether that story was shared in individual counseling sessions or in a group session, feeling safe enough to express how one thinks and feels is healing in itself."
