Therapy should help you understand yourself, not just get through another week.

I'm Robert Lee, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles.

I work with adults and couples who want to better understand their emotions, relationships, and the patterns that keep getting in their way, so they can start responding differently.

Why I do this work

I didn't grow up talking about emotions.

For a long time, I was good at pushing through things without really understanding what was happening underneath.

Learning how to identify and understand my own emotions changed the way I understood myself, my relationships, and eventually the kind of therapist I wanted to become.

I learned that emotions aren't problems to get rid of. They're information.

And when you understand what they're trying to tell you, your reactions start making a lot more sense.

What It's Like to Work With Me

I want you to leave therapy understanding something you didn't understand before.

I'm not the kind of therapist who will sit back, nod, and ask, “How does that make you feel?” for an hour.

I'm active, curious, and direct. We'll slow things down and look closely at what happened: what you felt, what you told yourself, what you needed, and why you responded the way you did.

I'll help you notice patterns you may not see on your own and give you a language for experiences you've felt but haven't always known how to explain.

And then we'll do something with that understanding.

Because the goal isn't to become better at therapy.

It's to become better at understanding yourself.

My Training

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I work with individuals and couples in person in Los Angeles and virtually throughout California.

The more you understand yourself, the more choice you have in what comes next.

That's what I want our work together to give you.
