Meet Leslie Billington, LCSW, SAP
Therapist and Substance Abuse Specialist
Hi, I’m Leslie Billington, LCSW — therapist, healing guide, and founder of Serene Paths.
I specialize in helping adults navigate life’s most overwhelming seasons — whether it's the weight of unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, burnout, or a deep sense of disconnection from self. My approach is grounded in compassion, lived experience, and a belief that true healing happens when we tend to the mind, body, and soul.
After walking my own path through trauma and transformation, I created Serene Paths as a safe space for others to reclaim their peace, reconnect with who they are, and move forward with clarity and strength. You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to be willing to begin.
Here, your healing is honored, your voice is heard, and your story matters.
