More About Dr. Leslie

Dr. Leslie Dobson is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the murky waters of human behavior. By day, she works with trauma survivors and attorneys in civil and criminal cases. By night, she transforms into your sarcastic, dark-humored guide through the labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with biting wit and just enough professional detachment to keep things interesting.

Her ability to navigate the darkest corners of humanity is as impressive as it is unsettling. With government-level training seamlessly transitioned into private practice, she's the gold standard for dealing with humanity's ... less-than-shiny side.
