Berkeley Psychotherapist, Leslie C. Bell

Finding a psychotherapist can be filled with both hope and fear – hope to find a therapist who understands and can help you, and fear of feeling judged or not finding relief. In my Berkeley psychotherapy practice I provide a safe and respectful environment to which you can bring your struggles and your strengths. You will find me to be warm, supportive, and direct in giving you feedback about the dilemmas you face and the places you may find yourself feeling stuck in your life. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and adolescents.

Whether it’s a relationship that isn’t working, difficulty making decisions in your life, feeling overwhelmed with sadness or worry, or trying to manage self destructive behaviors, psychotherapy can help you to feel calmer and more confident in your ability to confront life’s challenges.

In our work together, you will feel supported and challenged to make changes that can lead to greater contentment and a clearer sense of how to accomplish your goals.

Berkeley Appointments

A good match with a therapist is essential to successful therapeutic outcomes. I offer a 30-minute free phone consultation where you can describe what you would like help with and decide if I would be helpful to you. You will gain a sense of how comfortable you are talking with me and I can determine how I might be of help to you.
