Balanced Family Therapy

Lesli Doares is a dedicated and experienced marriage coach who has made it her life's work to help couples build and maintain successful, fulfilling marriages. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges and rewards that come with this type of relationship, Lesli is committed to providing the skills, techniques, and support necessary for couples to navigate the ups and downs of married life.

Lesli's interest in relationships began at a young age, as she watched her own parents' marriage struggle and ultimately end in divorce. This early experience, coupled with her professional studies and her own successful marriage of over twenty years, has given Lesli a unique perspective and expertise on what it takes to make a marriage work.

Lesli's passion for helping couples led her to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and she has been running a successful private practice since 2004. Over the years, she has worked with countless couples and individuals, helping them to overcome obstacles and build the strong, loving relationships they desire.

One of Lesli's greatest inspirations is a five-year-old girl she worked with in her practice, who was caught in the middle of her parents' contentious divorce. This experience solidified Lesli's belief in the importance of protecting and strengthening marriages, both for the sake of the couple and for any children involved. Lesli is dedicated to helping couples build a strong foundation for their marriage, so that they can avoid the pain and heartache of divorce.
