Getting to know Dr. Eric H Lee

Hi there! I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist with expertise in medication management, psychoanalysis, CBT and mindfulness-based therapy. I also have expertise in interventional treatments (ECT, TMS, Ketamine & Psychedelic therapy) and work as a clinical professor at Northwell Zucker Hillside Hospital. I work with adults (ages 18 to 65) and specialize in treating a wide array of conditions: Depression, Anxiety Disorder, OCD, Social Anxiety, and Insomnia. I see patients virtually and in-person (on Fridays) at my office in Midtown Manhattan. I also have have openings in the evening and on weekends (Saturday) for busy working professionals. I take a warm and empowering approach in my practice. I like to hear your unique life story. This helps me to understand your past, aspirations in life and more importantly your true authentic self. Through a combination of therapy, medications and non-medical interventions (meditations/mindfulness, exercise and nutrition), I will help you reach your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My treatment approach is holistic and person-centered. I do not reduce my patients to a set of symptoms. I like to understand your unique life story and challenges. I take into account both physical and psychological factors as well as the interplay between them. Then I work to treat the whole person, using psychotherapy, conventional psychiatric medication, and non-medical treatments such as meditations, exercise and nutrition.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I always start with a short introductory phone call (15 minutes) to briefly understand your needs. If we are a good fit, our first intake session (1 hour) will be dedicated to learning more about you and what you hope to gain from our work together. From there on, we will determine treatment frequency and durations.

    Dr. Lee is very warm and down-to-earth. He takes the time to really listen and understand my life experience and provides excellent guidance on the most effective treatment solutions.
    Dr. Lee is an excellent listener and established a clear treatment plan from the very first visit. What I appreciate most, however, is his availability—he’s easy to reach and maintains a highly accommodating schedule.
    Even though it was my first session, I felt comfortable sharing my concerns. Dr. Lee was attentive and supportive, and the session was very helpful. I would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring provider.

    My appointment with Dr. Lee was a breath of fresh air after seeing a different provider that really didn't work out for me. I've been dealing with an increase in symptoms, and decided to seek psychiatric care (in addition to working with my existing therapist) and Dr. Lee was calm, compassionate, reviewed my forms ahead of time, and actually listened to my concerns, backstory, and symptoms. His follow up questions were helpful and appropriate. The treatment plan we are starting with is exactly what I (and my existing therapist) expected it might be based on my symptom profile. I feel more confident that I'm going into this journey now with the right folks behind me, including Dr. Lee. At this stage, I can definitely recommend him.
    Dr. Lee has been a lifesaver during some of the lowest points I have ever been through in my life. I have been experiencing anxiety and depression brought on by insomnia and Dr. Lee has truly listened to me like most providers have never listened before. He is extremely responsive and communicative and I never feel like I am in the dark. I feel supported and I am so grateful to have found him. We are taking it one step at a time and I can take a deep breath knowing I am supported and am heading in the right direction. I truly am so appreciative and know that I am not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank you so much Dr. Lee.
    So far, Dr. Eric has been a great listener and allows space to allow me to feel heard. He also celebrates revelations I may self-discover and is not afraid to ask more questions to get to the root of the issues and ways I might cope or deflect.
    Dr. Lee has been great. He takes a holistic approach to psychiatry and makes sure he understands the background factors in his patients' lives. He also makes himself available when needed (e.g. to quickly submit a prescription refill), which I really appreciate.
    Dr. Lee has been incredible to work with. What stands out most is how genuinely present he is during sessions, he really listens and picks up on embedded beliefs and internalized thoughts and feelings, then connects them to larger patterns in ways that help you identify your own patterns of thinking and feeling. I came to him dealing with work stress, relationship challenges, ADHD management, and general anxiety/self-doubt. His approach is refreshingly effective and leaves me with real strategies to improve and change negative patterns, almost immediately, he helps you understand what's actually driving your issues and develop strategies that fit your real life. Actionable guidance is what drives change after all, and this was my takeaway. As a high-performing engineer, I can’t afford many setbacks, so managing work-life balance and healthy relationship challenges is crucial, and the work we’ve done together has shown positive results in my profession and relationship alike.
    I’m truly amazed by the progress Dr. Lee has helped me unlock. In just a few sessions, I’ve noticed myself becoming a more calm and compassionate person who no longer accepts negativity as “just the way things are,” but sees it as something I have the power to control. He quickly helped me connect the dots between the changes I wanted to make, how I got here, and what I can do to move forward. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and the growth I’ve experienced as a result.
    Dr. Lee is an excellent psychiatrist, highly recommend him. He listened to my problems patiently and made me feel very comfortable. He asked good questions and took efforts to get to know me as a person. His treatment approach was sound, holistic and compassionate.
    My experience with Dr. Lee has been great. He is compassionate, attentive and professional. I feel satisfied with his care and the improvement it’s had on my health.
    Great. Dr. Eric talked me through the problems that have been besetting in and encouraged small steps in order to make a big days. These problems can feel dealing a lot of the times, but he focus on quick, actionable remedies helped to lighten the harden. I look forward to continuing working with him and am excited to see him huge baby steps compound!
    I began seeing Dr. Eric Hyunwoo Lee when anxiety and stress at work started overwhelming my daily life. I was constantly tense before Monday meetings, replayed every conversation at night, and even minor feedback from my boss felt crushing. From the first session, Dr. Lee created a safe space where I could open up without judgment, and he offered both understanding and practical strategies. He helped me manage stress before meetings, set healthy boundaries with work emails, and even sleep better through simple journaling techniques. He listens with compassion and offers practical tools I could use right away. I feel calmer, more confident, and back in control of my life. If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Eric Hyunwoo Lee. His care has been life-changing for me.
    Eric is an excellent therapist. He’s very patient and understanding, and will listen to everything you have to say, and will come up with strategies and medication-based solutions to suit the persons needs. I have enjoyed my sessions with Eric immensely and highly recommend him for anyone who is seeking treatment.
    Working with Dr. Lee has had a dramatic positive impact on me. He took seriously the evaluation and proper diagnosis of my issues, didn't jump to conclusions, challenged me where necessary, and didn't provide cookie-cutter advice unlike other therapists I've worked with. He's a true professional who I look forward to working with now and in the future.
