Leslee D. Cook

Leslee D. Cook is a Marriage Family Therapist in independent practice.  Due to the Covid pandemic, she is using telehealth conferencing via Zoom. Leslee specializes in Somatic Experiencing a neuro-biological, mind/ body focused form of psychotherapy, aimed at reducing the effects of a dysregulated nervous system due to traumatic-stress related issues including Post Traumatic Stress, Dissociation, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Addictions- of all types, Phobias, Psycho-Somatic body pain, chronic pain, most likely stemming from shock or developmental/relational traumas. Leslee believes working holistically with the mind, body, and spirit is the most powerful way to heal from the traumatic events that occurred during our lifetimes. Leslee believes most mental health symptoms have their origin from traumatic developmental events rather than being deficits or disorders. These symptoms can effectively and rather quickly be resolved through Somatic Experiencing, a gentle body-based therapy that helps re-regulate the nervous system. Leslee is excited and passionate about helping individuals achieve self-regulation, an improved self-image, an enhanced capacity for relationships while eliminating self-defeating behavioral patterns. Leslee draws upon her wealth of knowledge, and the latest research in neuroplasticity, plus 33 years of psychotherapeutic experience offering individuals and couples their own unique personal growth-journey. Leslee has been providing counseling services in various settings and has been trained in various psychotherapeutic modalities. Leslee also draws her integrative mind-body-spirit healing approach from trainings in Touch for Trauma, The Resilient Child, Neuro Affective Relational Model,  Neuro Affective Touch, Guided Imagery, Psycho-Drama, Developing Needs Meeting Strategy, EMDR, Transpersonal Therapy, Life Coaching skills, Movement Therapy and years of a mindfulness practice.  Leslee is excited to offer these 21st Century cutting edge psycho-neuro-biologically based gentle approaches.  Leslee says she is confident this work will enable clients to quickly learn to skillfully attune to their body's innate wisdom, eliminating self-destructive habits and dysfunctional relational dynamics while effectively rewiring their "neuroplasticity" thereby eliminating unwanted impulsive reactions and responses while effectively calming and re-regulating their nervous system.
