Leslie is a founding member of the Institute for Health & Healing, one of the first and largest hospital-based integrative medicine programs in the United States. Her 25 years of medical experience developing an empowering and collaborative approach to resolving crises has informed her climate psychology model.

Her upcoming book, to be released in August 2021 with Magination Press, will provide kids with resiliency tools for navigating a warming world.

Currently, she serves in a Climate Psychology advisory role to Project InsideOut and the CO2 Foundation. She has participated in interdisciplinary climate think tanks hosted by the Post Carbon Institute and Institute for Policy Studies.
