Leslie Hagedorn, LCSW

Leslie Hagedorn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports clients dealing with career stress, self-esteem issues, ADHD, bipolar mood disorders, and coping with life changes.

Leslie spent time in a Doctor of Clinical Psychology program where she completed academic and supervised fieldwork. That work included supervised practice in intellectual and personality assessment. Her clinical background also includes focused experience with substance use and co-occurring disorders from graduate training and later practice.

Her room is practical and goal oriented. Sessions often look at patterns that keep a problem going, then try out different strategies to change them. Tools come from approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing with people who need them.

Leslie has worked with people experiencing complex trauma, process addictions, co-morbid mental health concerns, and some forensic populations. She has supported parents, people with anxiety and personality concerns, and those recovering from domestic violence or substance problems. Her experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up between meetings.

People who contact her usually want clear steps and practical skills to manage reactions, reduce impulsivity, and improve communication. She asks questions, listens to specific goals, and helps plan manageable changes. To begin, readers are prompted to use the site matching process and schedule a first session.
