Therapy for Men in Los Angeles to Build Emotional Clarity, Confidence, and Connection
Meet Robert Lee, LMFT
Stop drifting through emotions and start learning from them.
Why I do this work
I didn’t grow up talking about emotions. Like many men from Asian immigrant families, I learned to stay calm, push through discomfort, and handle everything quietly. From the outside I looked steady and strong, but inside I felt disconnected and overwhelmed. I didn’t know how to read my own emotional world.
Things changed when I began taking medication for my mental health. It forced me to slow down and realize that my issue wasn’t weakness, laziness, or incompetence. It was a lack of vocabulary. I didn’t have the emotional language to understand myself.
Therapy helped me build that language. It taught me that emotions aren’t burdens. They’re data. They tell us when something matters, when something hurts, and when something needs attention.
People assume that because I can understand and articulate emotions, I must be a highly emotional person. I’m not. I’ve just learned how to pay attention to what’s happening inside. Learning your emotions doesn’t make you “an emotional guy.” It makes you a guy who understands his emotions.
After becoming a therapist in 2020 and working with hundreds of clients, I’ve learned this: most problems we face aren’t really about the situation. They’re about the emotions beneath it. That’s the work I’m committed to helping men understand.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy, to me, is a conversation. An honest one.
It is a space where you can finally put words to what’s going on inside instead of carrying it alone. It is where you learn to listen to yourself instead of suppressing everything for the sake of being strong. It is where the patterns you have avoided become understandable instead of overwhelming.
I don’t show up as a therapist who has everything figured out.
I show up as someone who knows what it feels like to be lost, anxious, disconnected and who also knows the pathways out.
My work is helping you develop emotional clarity in the parts of your life no one taught you how to navigate. Not by changing who you are, but by helping you understand yourself more deeply so you can live with more honesty, confidence, and connection.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
