Hi, I’m Leslie Hunt.

I work with adults, couples, children and families who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or overwhelm—and want a clear path forward.

Many of the people I see are dealing with persistent anxiety, separation anxiety, or relationship strain. Others are navigating grief, major life transitions, or experiences that have shaken their sense of safety or identity. Whether you’re a couple feeling disconnected, an individual who feels overwhelmed or stuck,  or a parent trying to help your child, therapy can help you move toward something different.

With adults and couples, my work focuses on strengthening emotional connection, understanding patterns, and building practical tools for change. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support both insight and real-life progress.

I am a SPACE-trained counselor and specialize in working with children with anxiety and the parents who support them. Using Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), I help parents reduce accommodation patterns and build their child’s confidence and independence—especially in cases like school refusal, ARFID, and separation anxiety.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people can grow when they feel both supported and challenged. I provide an LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist space where clients can show up fully and work toward meaningful change.

My work is also shaped by my own lived experience as a cancer survivor and a carrier of a rare inherited cancer gene. I understand how uncertainty, grief, and resilience can shape both individuals and families—and I bring that perspective into the therapy room with care and respect.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I earned an MBA from Baruch College (CUNY) and a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan.

If you’re ready to begin, we can start where you are.
