Learn About Lesly
I will be your first point of contact when reaching out to Spokane Counseling Hub for Individual, Couples, or Family Counseling. During our time together you will be treated with respect and shown a high level of client care and professionalism. Clients are my first priority; I am detailed-focused, friendly, respectful, and inclusive in my interactions. My role is to reduce stress for both our clients and therapists by ensuring clear communication, efficient scheduling, office consistency and a positive patient experience. I will provide you with information on what Spokane Counseling Hub offers and how we work. I will ask you details to better understand what brings you to counseling in order for me to match you with the best therapist for your needs.
Here at Spokane Counseling Hub our core values are Community, Openness and Honesty, Fun, Integrity, Responsibility and Reliability, and Growth, and I strive to live to these standards to create a safe environment for those seeking our services.
As a Latina and indigenous woman, I am passionate about creating a safe space where all are welcome. Being a part of Spokane Counseling Hub is an extension of my pursuit of that space. By providing support, information and access to our amazing therapists I hope that those who are beginning or continuing their therapeutic journey always find a welcoming space where they are seen, heard, and belong.
My client experience ranges from age 12 to 65 and every human struggle you could imagine: routine building, sleep hygiene, communication, anxiety, depression, career changes, cult recovery, religious trauma, thoughts of self-harm, and wounded or broken relationships with family, spouses, partners, lovers, friends, children, faith groups, cultures, and self. The overarching theme of my clients’ work was understanding the physical and emotional symptoms of past traumas assaulting their everyday lives and leading to the breakdown of relationships.
Before coming to Spokane to embark on a counseling education and career, I spent fifteen years in five different countries working with and volunteering with war refugees, victims of sexual violence and abuse, incarcerated and houseless populations, young children in the foster system, and individuals of all ages struggling with thoughts of self-harm and helplessness about their current life situation and relationships. At the core of all of these experiences, I saw a longing in people from every walk of life that was so evident: the desire to be able to trust and to connect.
