I’m Leslie, the founder of The Winter Group, and I bring a warm, intuitive approach grounded in neuroscience to my work. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Medical Hypnotherapist, I specialize in supporting people dealing with anxiety, trauma, family challenges, and the unique needs of military-connected individuals. I’m also trained in Trauma Response Intervention Protocol (TRIP), and I blend clinical hypnotherapy, DBT, mindfulness, and Neurolinguistic Programming to help clients create lasting change. 

My clients often tell me our sessions feel calming, enlightening, and gently challenging—with a bit of laughter mixed in. Beyond my practice, I find great purpose in mentoring future counselors as an Approved Clinical Supervisor, helping shape the next generation of mental health professionals. My mission is to help you move from survival into a space of calm and clarity, offering a grounded, compassionate place to heal.
