Leslie Casarez, LCSW
Biography
I am passionate to provide support and guidance while navigating important and difficult life transitions to all students. In collaboration and partnerships with students, we build trust and respect as we work together towards a solution. I am honored to listen, share space, and witness growth with our Aggie students. My professional interests include self-esteem/self-worth concerns, depression, anxiety, identity development and grief & loss. I focus on different therapeutic techniques including strength-based, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy.
