Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm Leslie Bethea, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. With several years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts. I'm passionate about helping people strengthen their communication, rebuild self-esteem, and find clarity during major life transitions.
My practice focuses on a wide range of concerns, including life purpose, forgiveness, financial stress, workplace challenges, and multicultural issues. I have particular expertise supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum transitions, grief related to loss, and the complexities of blended families. I also work with clients addressing codependency, abandonment wounds, and infidelity within relationships.
I believe in creating a warm, affirming space where you feel truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in respect for your unique background, values, and spiritual beliefs. I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care as you move toward healing and growth.

03 · What happens next
Leslie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Leslie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Leslie at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Leslie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Leslie.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
