"I had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Hemedes at my last place of employment. Dr. Hemedes is a thoughtful, warm, and insightful clinician. She is experienced in the effects of trauma and loss with children, adolescents, and adults. She is aware of the psychological impact of social injustice. Dr. Hemedes is passionate and invested in helping her clients heal emotionally so that they can develop the “mental tools” needed to navigate their life. I trust Dr. Hemedes’s clinical judgment and highly recommend her as a therapist."

"Dr. Hemedes is a complex and compassionate therapist. I had the honor of sitting with Leslie in a weekly consultation group at my previous place of employment. She often demonstrated an ability to uplift the seen and unseen parts of a person, especially in consideration of their different mental, emotional, physical, and environmental contexts. She is very well researched and always engages with a sense of curiosity and deep competence all at once. I also have witnessed her creative lean to incorporate multiple modalities into very caring human interactions. All while having a uniquely relaxed demeanor. I can recommend her support without question!"

"I was grateful to have the opportunity of working with Leslie at a previous place of employment. Leslie is calm, warm, practical and insightful. She is able to get right to the heart of the matter in a way that facilitates growth and change for her clients. It is easy to recommend such a talented and thoughtful therapist!"

"I went to grad school and worked at George Washington University Hospital with Dr. Hemedes. She is a fantastic clinician — she is so warm, caring, and has an incredible sense of humor. She makes you feel safe and at ease. I fully trust her clinical judgment and recommend her very highly."
