Helping You Be the Best Version of You

Wise Mind Counseling, PLLC

Wise Mind Counseling, PLLC was established in Virginia in September 2023 after observing the increased need for virtual mental health care for Virginians. My mission is to guide individuals to live their full potential, be present in their experiences, and learn to love the journey of life they are on. 

You are the expert on your story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming obstacles that challenge you. With over 16 years of professional work experience in the mental health field, I have guided individuals in developing mindfulness skills, reducing anxiety, coping with trauma, and developing emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. I look forward to helping you, too.

Leslie Bottoms,
LPC, NCC, CEO

In my 16 years as a mental health professional, I've dedicated myself to creating a space where you are the focal point of our therapeutic alliance. My practice is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, enriched by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). 

Approach

My focus is on you!

My role is to serve simply as a guide on your journey. I aim to teach you skills to overcome some of the bumps in the road and turn mountains into pebbles.
