“Many things stood out for me in Lee's therapy style. 1) She is solution oriented -- immediately on my first session she discussed techniques that could help me. Which helped me tremendously. 2) She is very intelligent -- even when I struggled to articulate what I needed to say she is so quick to pick up my thoughts and bridge the gap.
3) Empathy and Authenticity -- I felt so heard and understood by her. I didn't believe in therapy but she made a believer out of me with her empathy, authenticity and immense capacity to understand situations and emotions.
I could go on and on with all her qualities but to summarize everything, she is a rare kind -- and truly such a blessing that I stumbled on her.”

Getting to know Dr. C. Lee Affrunti
Greetings and welcome! I'm Lee. Are you struggling with worry or panic, sadness, stressful or rapidly changing life circumstances, or traumatic experiences from your past? Stress, overwhelming emotions, or overall frustration with one's current life's path can zap the life energy from even the most stout-hearted among us! I empower high-functioning individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges to take back their lives and live with meaning and fulfillment. It is your birthright as a human being to experience peace of mind, hope, and joy. In our sessions together, I will help you find and use your strengths and resources to overcome the current challenges keeping you from living your most authentic, engaged, and meaningful life. I appreciate the courage it took for you to reach out to improve the quality of your life. Yes, you absolutely can live your most fulfilling life, and I offer to be your guide who will strive to enlighten, empower, and support you on your journey. I hold a PhD in School Psychology from Illinois State University, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach. I hope we can travel this part of your journey together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session together will generally be a “get to know you” session in which I will gather information about you and the circumstances that bring you to therapy. We will also explore what is important to you, the fundamental building blocks of living an engaged and fulfilling life. Throughout our time together, you will learn the tools you need to deal more effectively with painful thoughts and feelings so they will have less of an impact and influence over you, allowing you to make positive changes consistent with what matters to you. Our subsequent sessions will also focus on your being heard so that, in discovering what is working or not working for you, we can tweak the tools to maximize their effectiveness.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
