Leslie Barnard works individually with adults and children, as well as with couples and families. Her experience includes services to rape victims, and to children and families at Boston Head Start and other community mental health settings. She was trained in a psychodynamic approach which believes that people have repetitive emotional conflicts which can interfere with their achieving what they want in their lives, and that being helped to put thoughts and feelings into words, particularly the harder feelings that we believe are unacceptable, is essential to resolving these conflicts. Respecting where each person is at as they work with their feelings is also essential.
