Leslie Boyle-Milroy, MS

New Client Openings | MORNING Availability

Hello! My name is Leslie Boyle-Milroy (she/her), and I specialize in burnout, relationship stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and modern overwhelm. My approach is relational, client-centered, and holistic. I integrate expressive arts, mindfulness, somatic practices, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping), and nature-based therapy alongside traditional talk therapy, including walk-and-talk sessions when appropriate. I work with individuals, couples, parents, co-parents, and families (ages 9+), and I am LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming. 

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

I often work with caregivers, professionals, creatives, and highly sensitive or high-responsibility individuals who feel depleted by the demands of work, relationships, caregiving, or life in today's fast-paced, technology-saturated world.

Together, we explore the beliefs, relationship patterns, and survival strategies that may once have been protective, but now contribute to burnout, perfectionism, conflict, overfunctioning, or feeling 'always on.'

By helping clients reconnect with their values, needs, and creativity, I support them in building lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and sustainable.

In my relational work, I help clients decrease conflict and increase clarity, collaboration, secure attachment, and emotional safety. Many couples and families today find themselves disconnected, overstimulated, and exhausted, leaving little time for meaningful connection. Together, we identify patterns that keep people stuck and practice new ways of relating through communication, boundaries, shared rituals, and more intentional connection in daily life.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in landscape architecture and urban design. Those experiences shaped my understanding of high-pressure work cultures and continue to inform my passion for helping people live more intentionally and sustainably in both their environments and relationships.

I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, and I offer in-person sessions in Loring Park and telehealth throughout Minnesota. 

In my free time, you can find me enthusiastically trying to identify plants, reading lots of fantasy and historical fiction, and hanging out with my pup, Truffle!
