Tisha Leslie, Clinical Intern

Tisha came to clinical social work (therapy) after more than two decades working in corporate leadership, workplace culture, and employee experience. That background informs her interest in burnout, life transitions, identity, relationships, grief and loss, neurodiversity, and the moments when a life that looks successful on the outside no longer feels quite right on the inside.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people already hold important insight about their own lives. Somatic (mind-body connection) work is foundational, with Internal Family Systems and attachment theory layered in to help clients understand patterns, protective parts, and relationships. Tisha is also open to approaching therapy creatively—through walking and talking, movement, doodling, or other ways of making connection feel more natural when traditional face-to-face conversation feels intimidating.

Tisha has specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and is a Colorado-licensed Natural Medicine Facilitator. She is especially interested in supporting people preparing for or integrating psychedelic and other non-ordinary experiences as part of a broader process of healing and change.

She sees clients in person in Steamboat Springs and Fort Collins and offers telehealth throughout Colorado. Tisha accepts many UnitedHealthcare plans, Cigna, and Medicaid through all Colorado RAEs. Kaiser clients may also work with her using out-of-network benefits.

Tisha Leslie is a Master of Social Work Clinical Intern completing her graduate degree at Colorado State University and seeing clients at An Enduring Love and Reflective Healing Center under clinical supervision.
