Leslie Lee
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state and have 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my degree in 2000. While earning my Masters degree, I worked in two different inpatient psychiatric hospitals for a year each. Then, I worked for seven years at a community mental health center as a therapist and clinical supervisor. After taking a few years off to be a stay at home mom, I had a private practice for five years and found it was my favorite setting of all. This is my fourth year with Better Help. I have worked with groups and individuals struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, illness, and life change. Additionally, I have assisted people working on relationship boundaries and emotional abuse. My style is warm and caring and thoughtful. I believe in treating people with respect and dignity, knowing our lives bring us to a crossroads at times where the path forward isn't always clear. We can look together at your goals and obstacles to pioneer a way through by prioritizing and taking one step at a time. I want to provide a safe space to hear you and help you gain a more comprehensive perspective of the landscape of your life or focus in on one facet of an issue. I will adjust my approach based on your preferences. My approach blends person-centered, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness techniques. In addition, I utilize an understanding of neuroscience to help inform what is going on in the brain and how we can harness that knowledge to bring about lasting change. I will work with you to develop goals that meet your preferences for treatment and specific needs in the therapy process. You have a central role in deciding your focus and collaborating the path forward. My role is to support you and assist you in making progress. Seeking out counseling is a brave move and I am so proud of you for taking this step. I look forward to working with you!
