Michelle Lee, MA

Psychotherapist
159 Bleecker St, Ste 2C, New York, NY
In a world that often feels fast-paced, uncertain, and disconnected, therapy offers a powerful invitation to slow down and turn inward. I see the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing and growth—a space built on trust, curiosity, and compassion, where you can safely explore what feels painful, unclear, or ready for change. Together, we can work to better understand your experiences and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel most authentic, resilient, and grounded. My approach is integrative, drawing from relational-cultural and psychodynamic frameworks while also incorporating evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. I work holistically, helping clients examine the internal narratives and relational patterns shaped by past experiences, while also identifying the values and strengths that can support growth in the here and now. I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, identity development, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. Whether you’re seeking relief from distressing symptoms or engaging in deeper self-inquiry, I strive to support you in building insight, emotional flexibility, and a stronger connection to yourself. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and a Bachelor’s in Engineering from the University of Michigan. Supporting others through life’s complexities is something I hold with deep care and humility—it would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
