Hello, I’m Leslie Hale
As the Community Liaison here at Water’s Edge Counseling, I am often your first point of contact. I know how important it is to feel heard and understood from the very beginning, and I take pride in being a calm, organized, and compassionate presence on the other end of the phone. My goal is to help each person find the therapist who best fits their needs, so they can begin their healing journey with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re reaching out for the first time or returning for continued support, I’m here to help make that process as smooth and reassuring as possible.
I bring a diverse background in nonprofit work, education, and hospital settings, all of which have shaped my deep commitment to helping people access the care they need. I hold a Master’s in School Counseling from Georgia Southern University and a Bachelor’s in Communications with a minor in Sociology, which together give me a strong foundation in both interpersonal connection and systems-level understanding.
