Getting to know Tony Lee
My education, including my Master’s in Marriage, Family, and Children Counseling from California State University, Sacramento, along with both lived and service experiences, have taught me the importance of being honest, open-minded, compassionate, patient, reliable, dependable, and helpful. The reactions, feedback, and rewards I have received from my hard work have always motivated me to continue doing what I do. I want to be helpful to others and offer a helping hand to those who need it. I care about other people’s feelings and enjoy helping others to be safe, healthy, and happy. With these qualities, I realized that being a Marriage Family Therapist will give me the opportunity to contribute back to our community and assist those who may be facing difficult challenges.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. I will use active and reflective listening, empathetic dialogue, and validation to allow my clients to feel heard, respected, and supported.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session will be a rapport building and information gathering session where I will engage my clients in a conversation on their current concerns and needs for obtaining therapy. I will work with clients collaboratively to complete the assessment which will consist of gathering information on their background, current symptoms, strengths, and if needed, safety planning, and creating therapeutic goals in moving forward. Individuals will have the opportunity to discuss what they would like to be working on, how successful therapy will look like for them, and the fitness of working relationships. At the end of each session, I will use Session Rating Scale (SRS) to gather my client's feedbacks in 1-10 rating: 1) Ensure they feel herd, understood, , and respected; 2) They worked on talked about what they wanted to work on and talk about; 3) The therapist's approach is a good fit for them; and 4) Overall, the session was right for them.
