“I enjoyed the combination of working on my own journey with the meditation/coursework and having the group experience at the same time. That combination was extremely helpful and comforting.”
Sheri, Adoptee and Course participant
“Lesli helped us with the ‘how to’ and ‘when to’ share the difficult parts of our child’s story.”
R and J, Adoptive Parents
“Lesli is gentle, loving, and whip smart. We did virtual EMDR sessions and it changed my life! I have been to many, many therapists but only two have talked to me about the issue most core in my life: adoption. Only two therapists, therefore really did me any good. Thank you Lesli for being there for me when I really needed a boost out of the confusion and loss that is part of relinquishment and adoption.
