Relationships can be messy and sometimes lead to emotional, mental and behavioral issues. At the same time, relationships can also be a source of healing which is why a therapeutic relationship can help in overcoming these difficulties. I have extensive experience working with individuals (both adolescent and adult) and assisting couples and families with relational conflicts. I enjoy helping others gain insight to the causes of their struggles and empowering them to learn to cope with, accept and work through life struggles that would otherwise seem overwhelming and out of their control.

Do you feel stuck in the same pattern of conflict and wish for better communication with the important people in your life? Do you want to deepen connection with yourself and others? Do you need to find ways to set boundaries with those around you? A supportive, collaborative, and safe therapeutic relationship can help you work through all of the above, and more.

I enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life who are wanting to make a change in their life and learn more about themselves.

As a social worker / therapist, I have 30+ years of experience serving individuals and families. I specialize in providing Cognitive / Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It is my belief that we can learn from our past, identify and change patterns, overcome negative messages and thoughts, and build on positive behavior. This process can have a positive impact in how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and mood. Special interests include helping individuals and couples resolve or improve quality of life in the following areas; mental health, overcoming the impact of trauma, relationships, life transitions, grief and loss, and life style / health.

Connection. It's what heals us. Connection to self, loved ones, community, nature, art, purpose- it's the main ingredient for a life worth living. But this world is messy, and our lives can look like anything BUT connection for weeks, months, years... how long has it been? There are so many ways to end up here: stressful or traumatic experiences, an "othered" identity (think LGBT, race, spirituality, etc.), parenting children with high needs, or stigmas around a mental health condition. That feeling of disconnection can touch every thought, feeling, and dream that you have. But here's the good news: This is where our story begins.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Perhaps in the grips of anxiety, depression, a troubled relationship, grief, or other issues that threaten your ability to feel your best? As a skilled integrative therapist, I first focus on getting to know you and listening carefully for the desired changes. You and I will then create a way of working together that is designed to help you get back to feeling well. As we are all individuals, I will propose a plan that honors your unique style and issues and at the same time, offer treatments that are effective, ethical, and gentle.

I am Joseph Yiu Lee. In my forty years of practice, I have aided clients in slowing down obtrusive thoughts, helping them find time to breathe, working through trauma, and restoring quality sleep.

Hi. I would love an opportunity to work with you for your counseling needs. I’ve been working with couples since 2018 on a variety of relationship issues regarding trust building and attachment bonding (emotional, mental, spiritual, physical intimacy). In addition, I want to help you, as a couple, develop a communication style that gives each partner the opportunity to respond to underlying needs and get out of the habit of dysregulated emotional responses.

My background includes working with couples, families, and individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and substance abuse. I will work with anyone looking to make a change in their life or better adapt to their current situation. I have clinical experience working with adolescents, couples, adults, and leading substance use groups. I love working with a diverse range of ages, genders, and backgrounds.

When we first meet, the first question I will ask you is "What can I help you with" and together we will begin your work. I will travel with you on YOUR journey, providing support and the skills needed, so you are able to find the meaning and happiness you are seeking. If your goal is to find more happiness in your life, and issues with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, managing anger, grief and loss, trauma, addiction and relationship problems, are getting in the way of achieving your goal, I am here to help.

Helping people who feel stuck get unstuck is my passion. Finding balance and addressing feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. Offering enthusiastic support and new perspectives on the underlying reasons a person or couple is struggling and then how to make real change. We will build awareness and incorporate new skills to address whatever feels hard right now. And working towards being more content. Often, this includes helping people learn how to better identify and communicate their needs and hopes and desires.
