Getting to know Sara Emily Lee

I work with clients who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem which oftentimes also negatively impact their relationships and attachment styles. They might even appear high functioning from the outside, but are internally struggling with self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or unhelpful thinking patterns on self and others. They are often seeking clearer self understanding and healthier, less biased ways of relating to themselves and others, and ways to make change in their lives according to their own values

What should a new client know about working with you?

I help clients identify triggers, negative thoughts patterns and maladaptive coping skills, and guide them in reframing thoughts and emotions in a more balanced, positive way. I draw from CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing to provide practical tools and strategies for lasting change

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first sessions, we will focus on building a collaborative, supportive relationship exploring your life history, and uncovering the root causes of unhelpful thinking patterns. I aim to go “beyond listening”- I partner with clients to create meaningful, achievable change that aligns with their values and goals
