Lesley Washington

LCPC

Hello! I currently reside in Illinois though I grew up in Virginia and love the mountain views! Supporting children and families through life’s challenges is something that is close to my heart both personally and professionally. I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, welcoming space where they feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focused on helping individuals and families build resilience, heal, and grow together.
