A private psychotherapy practice and consult service specializing in addictions, chronic pain, and related mental health issues
Meet Leslie Bosworth
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in both Massachusetts and Florida. I have 20 years of experience working in Harvard-affiliated healthcare settings.
My life’s work is with two of the most misunderstood and stigmatized afflictions - addictions and chronic pain.
​
I have developed several programs in a large academic medical center for the treatment of addictions and chronic pain.
Practice Areas
Addictions
For friends & families
Chronic pain
I specialize in treating substance use disorders and behavioral addictions with compassion and without judgment. Together, we’ll explore the underlying dynamics of addiction, work through ambivalence, and reconnect with your core values and motivations. Along the way, we’ll also address any depression, anxiety, trauma, or environmental factors that may be contributing to your struggle.
Using the CRAFT model of family support for addiction recovery, we can explore the impacts of the addiction in the family. We focus on the complexities of boundary setting, incentivize recovery, and promote safety for everyone in the family.
I help families explore all treatment options and connect the loved one with the right care.
Chronic pain impacts more than the body—it can disrupt relationships, bring unexpected losses, and lead to difficult experiences in the medical system. Through cognitive, behavioral, meditative, and gentle exposure techniques, we engage the brain’s neuroplasticity to reshape how it interprets and responds to pain.
General mental health
Although my clinical focus is related to addictions and chronic pain, I welcome people struggling with other issues. Examples include anxiety, mood, eating, and thought disorders, as well as trauma, difficult adjustments, health issues, grief, and caregiver stress.
For businesses & organizations
I provide consulting and advisory services to leaders of public and private organizations on substance use disorders. I examine the risk and protective factors for recovery in a team member. On behalf of the organization, I can assess an individual for where they are in their addiction or recovery and provide recommendations to business leaders for how best to support the individual.
