Hello! I am Dr. Amy Lee, I am a licensed clinical psychologist, a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA®), a member of the prestigious National Register of Health Service Psychologists organization, and a certified perinatal mental health expert. I have approximately 10 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Generally, my patients view me as someone who is transparent, humorous, and flexible in therapy. My "typical" patients tend to have difficulties regulating their emotions/impulses, tolerating stressful situations, and feeling overwhelmed and guilty about almost "everything." I have success with patients who have depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, work-related problems, family conflict, a history of trauma, relationship challenges, and social skills deficits. Please visit my website to get a feel of what I am like as a psychologist. I also provide one free 15-minute consultation to ensure that I can help you meet your goals, determine if we are a good fit, and answer any questions you may have about therapy.

Meaningful therapy should help you understand yourself better and help you make changes you wish to make in your life. If you choose to work with me, you will find me to be non-judgmental, empathic, authentic and direct. My style is interactive. I focus on the here-and-now but also take into account earlier experiences as I believe they can have an impact on thinking and behavior. Perhaps you are seeking to understand or work through difficult emotions, identify and change negative thinking or behavior, learn healthier ways of coping or heal from the past. If so, I encourage you to set up a complimentary 15 minute consultation to see if I may be a good fit for your work in therapy.

College brings a mix of new freedom, academic pressure, shifting relationships, and questions about who you want to become. If you are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, mood changes, relationship stress, or the challenges of adjusting to college life, you deserve support that helps you feel understood and steady again. I offer a warm and collaborative space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing while feeling supported to grow in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable. My goal is to understand you fully, help you reconnect with your strengths, and work with you to create a life that feels more manageable and more aligned with who you want to be. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate DBT-informed treatment, CBT, relational therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you understand the patterns and experiences that shape you while also building practical skills. Together, we focus on emotional regulation, coping tools, communication, boundary setting, academic stress management, and the internal pressures that often surface during college. Therapy is flexible, collaborative, and tailored to your needs so you can make real and lasting change. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults in settings where emotional well-being and academic demands overlap. Alongside my private practice, I work at a specialized therapeutic high school where I support students managing stress, perfectionism, identity development, and transitions into college and adulthood. In this role, I coordinate DBT programming, provide training and consultation to faculty, and oversee the integration of skills into the broader school culture. I also supervise doctoral trainees, which reflects my commitment to high-quality, evidence-based care and to training the next generation of clinicians.

You are not alone if you feel overwhelmed by your emotions at times. Reaching out for help is really tough, but also really brave. Are you struggling to overcome past trauma? Are you coping with life transitions like starting college, going through a separation/divorce, or becoming a parent? If you’re ready to talk about what’s going on in your life, I am here to listen, support, and empower you on your journey towards healing and overcoming your emotional hardships. Using Cognitive Behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and breathing exercises, I’ll help you discover coping skills that work for you. I have specialized training in TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), a narrative style treatment proven effective for treating trauma. Additionally, I can help you cope with mental health concerns such as depression and/or anxiety, life transitions, gender dysphoria, parenting issues, women’s issues, relationship issues, or substance use. Reach out today for a free consultation call so we can discuss how I can support you on your path to healing, personal growth, emotional resilience, and a more fulfilling life. Let's start the journey together to rediscover your inner strength.
