I have a flair for helping people effect positive change in their lives. My offices are comfortable safe spaces to talk about difficult things and make tough decisions. The road to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I try very hard to be encouraging and supportive while change is occurring. Hurt, pain and anger do not define who we are; it opens our emotional pathways to inform us of the need and time for change. Depression is usually an indication of the depth of personal disruption, so when it’s appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing and to dismantle irrational thinking.

Dr. Lee understood my struggles with my relationship and has answered to my questions that I was dealing with for awhile. Words that came out from her has given me doubts but, they were more of signs that she has already seen before. Would recommend her 100%.

Had my first session with her and felt an immediate difference in professionalism/experience from other therapists I've tried out on the platform. I felt "guided" which is something I've been looking for - vs. other therapy appointments with other people that feel unstructured and like the wild wild west. Just in my first session I feel like I opened up a lot and made immediate progress. Super excited to keep working with Dr. Lee!

I have only been with Dr. Lee a short time, but she has been a source of wisdom and comfort, and is a wonderful sounding board. She is particularly skilled in offering metaphors and analogies to help reflect back to me with clarity an understanding of the emotions and thoughts I am experiencing. I genuinely look forward to our discussions.

I have had the absolute pleasure to be working with Dr. Lee as my therapist. I have been in therapy the better part of my life and I have been extraordinarily lucky to be now sharing my time in therapy with a wise, intelligent, thoughtful woman who is well educated, refined and such heartfelt attention to detail. I literally could not believe how this has positively impacted my difficult days and I have so much more hope for my future. Dr Lee provides me with compassionate support by effectively listening and advising me with her immense knowledge and applied therapeutic techniques to address my specific issues. I have not always looked forward to therapy, however, I find speaking to Dr. Lee effortless and I am able to trust her judgment and suggestions. It takes a lot for me to trust anyone outside of my family and yet it was an immediate connection that I am very encouraged to do the work necessary to have a better quality of life. I am very thankful that I now have the very best therapist I have ever had in the past 30 years. I know how lucky I am, it’s not easy finding a doctor who sees me at my worst and I finish my sessions feeling lighter and just a little bit stronger than the day before.

Dr. Lee is a wonderful therapist, she always makes me feel at ease and comfortable like I'm talking to a friend while still helping direct the session to my goals.

Gay is a wonderful therapist. She is very understanding and attentive, and I'm glad to have had so many conversations with her. She helped me out of multiple spirals, and helped steer me in the right direction.
Gay Lee will be going down as my favorite therapist to date. I have had many therapists before her, and none of them have been able to break through like Gay has. I will remember her years from now, and her advice and guidance will stick with me for a very long time. Thank you!

I believe that Dr. Lee was not particularly helpful in teaching me anything. They did not provide any sort of tools that I would be able to use for communication, dealing with my emotions or trauma. A bit unprofessional as a therapist and also did not particularly do anything to make me feel comfortable in speaking about my feelings, thoughts and experiences. My experience with them was mostly poor, and towards the end of my time with Dr. Lee they made no apparent effort to speak to me politely or separate their personal matters from our sessions.
