THERAPY

Beginning therapy for the first time, or with a new therapist, can be an intimidating step, but we are here to help ease you in to the process of finding your way in your healing journey. There are many benefits to therapy but sometimes it can be hard to get started and ask for help along the way. At Rising Lotus Therapy, Leslie uses multiple methods when working with her clients to explore what feels right for her individual clients needs. There is never a one-size-fits-all approach or method to a therapeutic relationship, so when we begin our work together you will know it’s tailored for what your needs are.

CONSULTING & SUPPORT

In my years as a therapist and trauma expert, I have seen a need to support other therapists in their work in a twofold way – both in their professional work and also supporting them personally so that they have the mental capacity to serve at their highest level.

CERTIFICATIONS & QUALIFICATIONS

As a therapist, it is important to me to invest in my own professional and personal growth by continuing to pursue relevant certifications that help me serve my clients better.

“We heal not to tolerate more trauma, but to create expansion to feel and engage fully in the human experience.”

– Leslie Chesshir, LCSW, LMT

METHODS & MODALITIES

EMDR THERAPY

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a highly effective psychotherapy technique recognized for its efficacy in treating trauma and other psychological stressors. It utilizes bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements, to stimulate the brain’s information processing system, facilitating the resumption of natural healing processes. This approach helps individuals process and integrate traumatic memories, leading to a reduction in psychological distress and an enhancement in mental health and well-being.
