Leslie Argenta, LCMHCA
Leslie Argenta is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) who works with adults navigating life transitions, emotional loss, and the complexities that often accompany aging and caregiving. Her approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.
Leslie often works with individuals who are adjusting to new roles or stages of life, including older adults and those supporting aging loved ones. She understands that these transitions can bring grief, uncertainty, and emotional strain, and she strives to create a therapeutic space where clients feel supported, understood, and able to move forward at their own pace.
Her work is informed by a range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. Leslie tailors each session to the individual in front of her, emphasizing collaboration and practical steps that align with each client’s values and goals.
At the core of Leslie’s work is the belief that therapy is most effective when it feels like a true partnership. She values creating an environment where clients feel safe to be honest, supported in their vulnerability, and encouraged as they work toward meaningful change.
