Leslie Jb Thayer holds California psychology license PSY27726 and maintains a clinical practice near Lake Murray in La Mesa at 5575 Lake Park Way. Her client-centered therapeutic approach integrates techniques matched to individual presentations, a model that complements the nutritional counseling framework at Sarah Steele, RD - Dietitian Nutritionist for patients whose eating patterns and stress responses require coordinated behavioral and dietary intervention. Thayer's certified CalGETS provider status qualifies the practice to deliver state-funded treatment for problem gambling, a California Office of Problem Gambling initiative that covers evaluation, individual therapy, and relapse prevention at no cost to eligible participants. Somatic stress symptoms in therapy patients sometimes warrant bodywork referrals to complement cognitive processing, an integrated approach shared with manual therapy practitioners like Bodywork 4 Health on the La Mesa health corridor. Highest-tier interventions involve structured gambling disorder treatment combining motivational interviewing, cognitive restructuring of distorted probability beliefs, and financial harm-reduction planning across multi-month recovery protocols.
