All The Letters, None of the Expected

The most "un-doctory" doctor you will meet! Dr Leslie is a leader Brain Health! 

Hi, I’m Dr. Leslie Russell-Martin—and yes, I’m a doctor, but probably not the kind you’re used to.

 I’m the un-doctory doctor: approachable, real, and deeply invested in helping you love your brain and your life again.

Here’s the truth. Life gets messy. We all have things to do, places to be, and plans that once made sense… until they don’t. Maybe stress, loss, relationships, career twists, or just the relentless “shoulds” have you looking around thinking: How the hell did I get here?

 You’re not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to stay stuck.

Here's the "thing." We all have things to do and places to be....But......sometimes we just get in our own way. Why? Maybe we got distracted: by life, by others, by hardship, by stress, a big life event, living in the "I should," or maybe you are living a life that makes you ask "How the He** did I get here!" There are a ton of reasons for life's unraveling. I get it. Sometimes we get lost. We get set on a course that we believe is the right one, the thing to do. For whatever reasons "those" are. And then....We wake up one day and things change. Your relationships, your health, your career, your marriage, your goals.....YOU! (And that is OK!) 

Like You, I have found that traditional interventions can only go so far. In fact, sometimes traditional methods LIMIT individuals from finding true healing! It's almost like traditional ways want to keep you UN well!!  It is important to  find your way to heal within your life,: To  play big, stand in your power, and truly experience life and wellbeing. 

Traditional interventions can help, but they often only scratch the surface. In fact, they can leave people feeling boxed in, unseen, or still unwell. 

My work is about breaking out of that box. I believe true healing means integrating mind, body, and spirit—so you can live fully, not just function.

For over 20 years, I’ve helped people find balance, purpose, and resilience.

 As a clinical neuropsychologist, licensed psychologist, marriage and family therapist, Amen Clinic Certified Brain Coach, and integrative wellness provider, I bring together science, brain health, and holistic practices. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s personal, creative, and yes, sometimes a little unconventional.

 Here’s how I help:          

Now, I help people learn to LOVE their brain through integrated wellness.

 I help women and men have gratitude for discomfort and grace for fears to find out who the F*** they are after great change. 

I help people find their feet by figuring out what fits their feels for a joy and abundance filled life.

 I help couples fix the "fuck its'" by finding skills for conflict and communication in intense adventures

 to bring back the passion, trust, and commitment to their relationships and selves. 

I help parents learn to find the joy in the challenges of parenting to like AND love their children with high needs again.
