VICKYA LESLIE, PHDc

Hello! Welcome to my website! My name Vickya Leslie. I am a PhDc at Saybrook University studying Clinical Psychology. I am studying to become a licensed clinical psychologist for teenagers and young adults with severe mental health disorders who are struggling with trauma.

 

I am also a certified CBT Life Coach for Silicon Valley Therapy trained by Transformation Academy. Having worked as a school counselor, teacher, and applied behavior analysis therapist (ABA), I have ample experience working with teens and young adults.

 

In addition, the LGBTQ community is my safe haven! I take extreme pride in empowering queer folks to embrace their identity. I recognize how hard it can be for individuals to navigate the changes that occur while coming out and I want to help them with that difficult life transition.

 

In my sessions, I use a humanistic approach. I believe that my clients should have autonomy when making decisions and I work with clients collaboratively to guide them through their decision-making process. As a mindset coach (CBT), my aim is to help clients get rid of negative self-talk so that they can successfully reach their goals.
