Leslie Frondorf, MEd, LCPC
EMDR and Relationship Therapist in Naperville, IL
“I passionately believe in the power of the therapeutic bond between client and therapist, as it serves as a cornerstone for meaningful progress. With this, I strive to use a personalized approach to help each client find peace and contentment. I truly love what I do and hope to bring that to each session!”
With over a decade of clinical experience, Leslie emphasizes the importance of psychoeducation, coping strategies, and mindfulness. Additionally, she brings her inherent authenticity, trust, directness, and a little bit of humor to foster a secure and welcoming environment to every client.
Therapy is a challenging, yet warm process that entails self-reflection and honest conversation. Leslie is not a traditional “sit back” type of therapist and will walk alongside her clients and their pain. For instance, what may have served us in the past may no longer serve our best interests today. Because of this, she works best with those who want to dig into their life experiences and find freedom with insight and connection. “Name it, Claim it, Tame it”
Furthermore, with a rich background in a variety of addiction treatment settings, she has contributed her expertise to not only serve individuals, but also their loved ones contending with substance use disorder and process addictions (sex addiction, gambling, etc). Lastly, Leslie’s extensive experience also includes the role of supervisor and mentor, guiding fellow therapists on their professional paths.
Relationship difficulties don’t only occur within couples. Individual therapy can provide an opportunity to examine relationship patterns, boundaries, codependency, and the experiences that influence how we connect with others.
Leslie also works with clients navigating perinatal concerns and addiction, tailoring therapy to the needs and goals of each individuals.
Leslie provides flexible scheduling options from Monday-Thursday, during both daytime and evenings, with sessions available in-person or virtually.
