How I Work

About : Famous Quote
Psychotherapist

I’m a psychotherapist who works with people striving for personal well-being and balance. Trust is vital for therapy to work, so my clients and I forge a genuine connection. I have a wealth of experience helping people with life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anger, anxiety, and trauma.

Background

I earned my bachelor’s in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin, and went on to work for 13 years as a photojournalist for newspapers. Ultimately, I wanted to get out from behind the camera and build a deeper connection with people, so I set a goal for myself: to become a psychotherapist.


​I got a master's in human services from St. Edward’s University, and have worked in a variety of settings, including a MHMR clinic, a pre-release prison focusing on chemical dependency issues, a psychiatric hospital, and an adoption agency. Since 2002, I've been in private practice in Austin working with older adolescents, adults, and couples.

Heal from trauma

Issues I Work With

I work with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, and shame. I often work with people who are in transition and are exploring creative new ways to approach old problems.

I have specialized training in helping people heal from traumas of their past, concerns in the present, or fears and worries about their future.

Therapy Office

The first step can be the hardest. If you're suffering from anxiety or depression, it can be difficult to find the motivation to try something new. ​No matter how hard it is, the first step brings you closer to what you want.

Take that first step! Call me at (512) 695-1660, fax me at (512) 829-4543 or email me at leslie@leslietourish.com


We'll schedule a time to consult and find out how I can be of service to you as a therapist. All calls and emails are confidential and answered within 24 hours. (If you need my return call to be confidential, note that in your message.)

I look forward to helping you make lasting positive changes in your life!
