I am a queer and trans nonbinary therapist mainly providing support for trans and nonbinary clients coping with transphobia as well as navigating gender identity and a/sexuality exploration and development. Race, class, and gender are at the forefront in my work with survivors of complex trauma. I help queer and trans immigrant communities with mental health challenges related to their lived experiences of abuse and neglect, long-term grief, and intergenerational trauma. My clinical modalities are psychodynamic and experiential.

As a therapist, Jenny Jinhee Lee aids individuals in achieving life goals and overcoming life difficulties by allowing them to creatively express themselves through art.

Book a session with me if you want to create a healthy and empowering narrative of your life that you can understand and reconcile with. Prior to working as a therapist, I studied comparative literature in college and worked as a copywriter in the advertising industry, discovering, creating, and sharing “stories”. I was drawn to therapy as an occupation, having learned that psychotherapy, essentially, is a process of storytelling. As a therapist, I strive to empower and support my clients in their journey of uncovering and re-arranging their thoughts and feelings to create a coherent and empowering narrative of their lives.

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

Congratulations on taking steps to feel better! Many people struggle with regulating intense emotions, lack impulse control, or use self-harming behaviors to deal with life. Some find themselves in high conflict relationships or have difficulty creating and maintaining boundaries. Even more suffer with negative thoughts, paralyzing procrastination, and excessive rumination that hold them back from living a vibrant life. If these symptoms resonate with you, I hope to support you in overcoming obstacles so you can create a life you love!

Have you been dealing with waves of anxiety and depression, exhausted from self-critical thoughts and doubt?

Are you thinking about starting or getting back into therapy but not sure where to begin? Welcome! I am a licensed therapist specialized in working with Asians and Asian Americans struggling with relationship problems, cultural conflicts, identity issues, past traumas, and self-esteem struggles. Having grown up in two different cultures, I understand these challenges can feel even more overwhelming for individuals belonging to the second or 1.5 generation immigrants. The pressure to succeed as a child of immigrants, coupled with generational traumas and adherence to cultural norms, often intensifies these difficulties.
