WNY Holistic Counseling

WNY Holistic Counseling A Whole-Person Approach to Therapy Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

Life is often challenging. There are times when you feel you’ve gotten “off track” and need some direction. Perhaps you just don’t feel like yourself or aren’t content with your life. Many times people struggle with the stress of life, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationships or the impact of events, and don’t know how to handle them or move forward. It can seem overwhelming. Therapy can help. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, growth and change. It can re-orient you to your life and get you back “on track.”

I help to integrate the whole person, drawing on your strengths, positive qualities, past successes and inner resilience. I work with adults, adolescents and families on both personal and interpersonal issues.

It’s been about a month since I returned from the Sahara Soul Awakening Retreat, and I finally feel ready to put words to the experience.

Coming home from a transformational space isn’t linear. There’s a period I call post-threshold integration — that space between who you were before and who you are becoming.

I’ve been sitting with what shifted.
Letting it land in my body.
Listening instead of rushing into the “next thing.”

Three truths crystallized for me from this journey:
✨ 1. Group work lights me up in a new way
I’ve held deep 1:1 spaces for years — and I love that work.
But being in a shared field of intention and transformation felt… luminous. Nourishing. Easeful.
Something came alive in me there. A new path is forming.
✨ 2. A conscious group becomes a living energy
Each story, tear, belly laugh, and breakthrough fed the field.
Transformation expanded beyond each person — it amplified.
There is a catalytic magic in community that can’t be replicated alone.
✨ 3. Witnessing others feel Morocco awakened something in me
The stillness of the Sahara.
The warmth of the people.
The spiritual pulse beneath everything.
Seeing the desert soften people… open them… reset their nervous systems…

It reminded me exactly why I was called to bring others there — and why this is just the beginning.

A month later, I can feel it:
This wasn’t an ending — it was a beginning.
Here’s to harvesting the gold from our experiences, not rushing past the moments that change us, and honoring who we’re becoming.

If you feel called into sacred community, or want to gather a private group for a mini-retreat or transformational day — message me. Let’s co-create something meaningful.

With love,Lesley 🤍🧡✨

🌱 Therapy vs. Coaching 🌱
I get asked a lot: What’s the difference?

Here’s how I see it:
✨ Therapy is about healing wounds, managing stress/anxiety, and building stability.
✨ Coaching is about expansion, clarity, and creating a soul-aligned life.

I love both — and my work bridges the two. Whether you’re ready to process the past or step into your next level, I can guide you there.

A Sanctuary for the Healers
💡 You guide others toward healing. Now it’s time to receive that same care.

This Fall, I am offering The Sahara Soul Awakening Retreat, a deeply restorative, intimate experience designed exclusively for those who hold space for others.

In the heart of the Moroccan Sahara, you’ll find:�✨ Spaciousness to exhale and reconnect with your own essence�🔥 Sacred stillness that invites deep restoration and renewal�🌙 A container of safety, simplicity, and soul-level transformation

🌍 I’ve just arrived here on a scout mission, preparing to open registration for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. There are only 6 available spots.

💫 If you feel the pull, get on the waitlist now for early access to details, exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, and priority booking.
