Leslie Elliott Boyce

Program and Outreach Coordinator

Leslie Elliott Boyce is an independent coach and consultant in Washington State.  She is co-founder of Solid Ground, an online peer support community, and the host of “the radical center,” a podcast focusing on the topic of ideological bias in the fields of education and psychology. She is also a mother of 4 and a homeschooling advocate.

Leslie’s graduate work in clinical mental health counseling came to an abrupt end near the end of her coursework when she was “canceled” by her university for criticizing overt politicization and bias in her program’s teachings on race and gender.  She pivoted, starting a coaching practice and speaking publicly about the importance of political neutrality in social support services.  Through her work Leslie helps to open dialogues with lay people and psychotherapy professionals on cultural issues in a way that is compassionate and solution-focused.
