Getting to know Lesa Vander Bie
Hello, I'm so glad you are here. My name is Lesa Vander Bie and I am a licensed MFT with 27 years experience in helping individuals. I obtained my degree in Social Ecology from UCI with honors, a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University and a Certificate in Dynamic Psychotherapy from the Newport Psychoanalytic Institute. It's my sincere pleasure to provide a supportive and empowering space for you to create positive change in your life. I have extensive experience in helping you addressing such issues as anxiety, perfectionism, shame, low self-worth, attachment issues, coping skills, life transitions, relationship issues, women's issues, men's issues, singleness, dating, 20's/30's getting established in life, etc. My main therapeutic approach is Psychodynamic Therapy which is helping you explore and understand how your childhood experiences are internalized and repeated in adulthood. I also utilize Solution Focused, Grief Therapy and other therapeutic tools. Together we identify your goals and work towards healing, growth and healthier ways of relating and reaching your aspirations. I value creating a collaborative relationship which helps me tailor our sessions to adapt to your specific needs. I have a background in the Performing and Visual Arts and have a successful practice in Southern California. I look forward to coming along side you to help you gain valuable insight and equipping you to reach your life goals so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Another specialty I offer is providing Personal Therapy to psychology MFT graduate students in California.
TELEHEALTH EXCEPTIONS: Unfortunately, I am not able to offer tele-health to individuals who are:
High risk (suicidal, domestic violence, child abuse, sex-trafficking victims)
Legal cases / currently dealing with a crime
What should a new client know about working with you?
The benefit of working together is that you will have a safe, supportive relationship in which to feel understood, deepen your insights, work through challenging issues together, develop tools, build healthy relationships, and move from surviving to thriving. I look forward to helping you discover and living from your most authentic self.

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.
