Leslie Nelson - Licensed Clinical Social Worker
"Ms. Nelson’s education track and volunteer work have marched her towards what I feel is her destiny – working in the mental health field. It is hard for me to imagine anyone more suited to this endeavor. She is passionate, empathetic, brilliant, resourceful, and she has a deep appreciation for multicultural diversity. A bit of a chameleon, Ms. Nelson is able to fit comfortably into any group or situation she encounters. I imagine her being at ease in a corporate boardroom, academic think tank, biker bar, or the living room of a family in crisis."

“I’ve sat in on several of Leslie’s groups…her clients are disciplined; they relate well to Leslie, and they are well connected with each other. Leslie’s clients clearly respect and care for each other and they appear vested in each other’s success. Her clients appear vested in the therapeutic process and view Leslie as a positive advocate of change. Leslie’s rapport with each individual client is inspirational.”
Kenneth Burton, M.S., CDP, CADCII, LMHA, 2015
Observing Leslie Nelson perform an evaluation is like attending a well-choreographed symphony as she excels in meeting clients where they’re at—often unsure about how to create and sustain positive change in their lives—to the end of the eval where most clients appear to have increased their enthusiasm about initiating change, engaging in treatment, seeking out positive community supports they hadn’t heard of or thought of before, and expressing gratitude for Leslie’s earnest support.
Leslie is well known as one of the leading dual diagnosis evaluation providers in Oregon. She is brilliant at assisting clients in identifying and overcoming their barriers to treatment and recovery while maintaining a high standard of ethics and deep sense of integrity.
She takes pride in being a servant-leader and her rich knowledge of multicultural diversity and genuine love of all peoples from all over the world allow her to have real conversations with real people about real problems and possible paths forward in solving those problems with genuine and frank conversations and clear treatment plan recommendations.
