My father always said “aging comes with serious side effects”. While he meant it as a joke, his words were poetic and true. Whether we are navigating our own experience with aging, or caring for others, issues related to this experience can dominate our lives, and cause significant distress.I come to this work, enriched with life experiences that have given me perspective, compassion, and empathy.

Is your child looking for a safe, supportive space to explore their thoughts and emotions? I specialize in working with children ages 6–12, including those with disabilities who face behavioral and social-emotional challenges. I also support adolescents 13–17, and young adults navigating trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and suicidal thoughts. These formative years can be filled with joy, discovery, and growth. But for many young people, they’re overshadowed by overwhelming feelings of anger, sadness, or worry. My goal is to help your child heal, grow, and build the resilience they need.

My name is Michelle Lee and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (145797). I have been working with children, teens, adults, and families since 2015 and I am passionate about mental health. I support individuals to understand that they are not their symptoms and focus on empowering them to meet the unmet needs behind these symptoms and realize strengths, on their journey to creating more life satisfaction. My therapeutic approach is centered around the belief that each individual is unique and therefore has a unique set of underlying needs and values that deserve to be nurtured.

I do not believe in a “one size fits all” model and feel that therapy should be tailored to the needs of each client. I see children (3+), adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds with various needs. My approach to therapy is integrative and I enjoy using creative therapies to enhance the voices of my clients even when it is difficult to find what to say.
