Leslie Gunderson

If your family or relationship is struggling, if you are feeling depressed or anxious, or if you are worried about your child’s well-being, I am here to help. I specialize in helping couples, families, children/adolescents, as well as individuals. My areas of expertise include marital concerns, separation and divorce, parent-child relationships, blended families, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I provide Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce, and I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling program. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Three Oaks Behavioral Health and Wellness in Durham. I earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University and a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. To help you reach your goals, I will collaborate with you using Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Experiential models of therapy, as well as play therapy for children. I am committed to creating a safe and validating environment to work together at overcoming obstacles and trying new solutions.
