LESLEY GENA, LPC
(she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor​

​​

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Maybe you’ve been through something painful, or you’re trying to rebuild after loss, conflict, or trauma. My goal is to offer a space where you can explore, create, and heal at your own pace. It is important to me that you feel seen, understood, and supported.

​

I am an Art Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families navigating a variety of emotional challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients use creativity to process experiences that words can’t always capture. I’ve facilitated therapeutic arts programming for children, adults, and families, using art as a bridge to healing, self-awareness, and empowerment.

​

In my work, I take a strength-based approach that highlights your resilience and the wisdom you already hold. I love bringing visual art into sessions when it feels right, but I also meet you wherever you are; whether that means talking, reflecting, creating, or simply being present together.

​

As an LGBTQIA+ ally and advocate, I’m passionate about cultivating spaces that honor every identity and lived experience. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where you can explore who you are, what you’ve been through, and where you want to go next.

​

If this sounds like the kind of space you’ve been searching for, I would love to meet you. Your journey is uniquely yours and I’m here to help you feel grounded, hopeful, and empowered as you move forward.
