LESLEY POBLETE-CREECH, LCSW

Hi, nice to meet you and thank you for visiting my page. My name is Lesley, & I am a LCSW dedicated to helping transitional age youth and adults at any stage of their lives cope with life and its uncertainties and challenges.

Academic Underachievement
Anxiety
Addiction
Boundaries
Career Counseling
Chronic Impulsivity
Codependency
Coping Skills
Depression
Divorce
Family challenges
Emotional Disturbance

I also completed the training to become a 200 hour Certified Yoga Teacher in 2016 and feel privileged to offer yoga as another tool to my clients during their therapy appointments. I also learned during my yoga journey this practice is truly for EVERYBODY. All you need to do yoga is your breath. Yoga allows us the opportunity to practice mindfulness and focus on being present in the moment with ourselves. I also am proud to be a dog mom since 2020 to Teddy, a rescue Shihtzu mix. Teddy influences our household to continue exploring ways we can live an intentional life each day.
My Availability: Please note I have a full time profession outside and I currently offer evening weekday appointments after 6:30 pm CT zone on certain Monday through Thursdays, and select weekend morning / daytime slots from 8-10 am, and select Sunday evening times after 6:30 pm CT zone.
My sessions involve the use of techniques from mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and ACT. My hope is to guide others to be the best version of themselves daily and recognize their passions that bring purpose to life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I want to support my clients and colleagues in normalizing conversations about therapy and mental health. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
**Please know I am only private pay and I do not work with insurance. I offer sliding scale for ranging from $55-$85 each session, based on income and financial resources available to each client. I can provide documentation for any clients who wish to use their HSA / FSA for reimbursement.
**LIMITATIONS - I am unable to provide any type of mandated therapy sessions / mandated therapy documentation including for military and court matters, due these requests being out of scope in my practice.
