Therapists in Bath, ME

I will be on vacation until 2/19/23. I bring warmth, compassion and years of experience, in my work as I help people heal, acquire skills and live with more ease in their lives. I have extensive training in couples counseling and parenting work. I have over 26 years of experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance misuse, sexual issues, chronic illness, work issues, friendships, etc. I believe in continuing to grow and learn so that I may be of the most benefit to my clients. I work in an inter-actional, relational framework with people from 17 to 100 as individuals, couples, and families.

HEALING RELATIONSHIPS is the counseling practice of Leslie Bartlett, L.C.P.C. & Steven Klockow, L.C.S.W. We specialize in transformational couples work. We teach what it takes to be fully alive, attuned and present with each other so that repair and connection are the natural outcome. We routinely help couples who are navigating addictions & affairs, sexuality, co-parenting & blended family challenges as well as other stressful life situations such as infertility, medical/mental health issues and loss. Our work is ideally suited for couples who feel ready to take on the challenge of living more consciously together.

First of all, I view all my clients' presenting issues as unhealthy yet normal adjustments to life problems. These adjustments have become problematic and created symptoms in the individual and in relationships. My goal is threefold: "stop the bleeding," seek healthier adjustments and, ultimately, to build a quality life of contentment and satisfaction. My orientation is existential and cognitive behavioral, with a specialty in clinical hypnosis and its many valuable applications.

We live in a complex world. Many of us can feel overwhelmed by the layers of stressors and demands upon us. While I do not possess the answers, I have strength in asking appropriate, pertinent questions, as well as opening the exploration of aspects of oneself that may be hidden from view.

Ultimately, it is here that change can occur.

I am passionate about working with couples to achieve a more intimate and satisfying relationship. In therapy, I work with each individual to identify issues that are interfering in achieving these and use a strengths-based approach to support clients to develop better ways of relating. I believe that the best way to get to the root of the issue is through being open and direct with clients.
