Leslie Westbrook is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. As an LMFT she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address emotional and relational concerns, and she brings a trauma-informed focus to her therapeutic work.

She centers her practice on helping people heal from traumatic experiences, offering a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental presence that supports exploration and recovery.

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues. She integrates a range of clinical approaches - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems - to create individualized treatment plans.

Throughout her work Leslie emphasizes practical tools, emotional growth, and resilience-building so clients can move toward greater stability and hope. Therapy with her aims to help people process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and develop sustainable strategies for healthier relationships and improved self-understanding.
