Balanced Family Therapy

Lesli Doares, the founder of Foundations Coaching, is a dedicated marriage coach with a deep-seated curiosity about what makes marriages work. With professional training and a marriage that has surpassed the quarter-century mark, Lesli has discovered answers to what it takes to make relationships successful. As an expert in relationships, Lesli has been assisting couples and individuals since 2002 in making their relationship dreams come true.

Lesli's Story

Lesli's interest in marriage stems from her personal experience of her parents' divorce. Her father left when she was fifteen, and they divorced when she was sixteen. The pain of her parents' divorce stayed with her, and she felt lost and unloved. Despite her efforts to find love in her relationships, she remained unsuccessful for many years.

Lesli's professional life took a turn when she became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2004 and started a private practice. After being happily married for almost twenty years and having two pre-teen children, Lesli wanted to help couples create and maintain successful marriages.

Lesli's Passion

Lesli's passion is to create happy marriages and reduce the chances of divorce. She is highly skilled at understanding relationship dynamics and explaining them in ways that enable her clients to see the possibilities for their marriage. Her clients describe her as an "angel in disguise, " who listens to them and understands their needs. Lesli inspires her clients to think about their relationship in a new and different way.
