Dr. Sherrie Lee, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dr. Sherrie!

I have 18 years of experience and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I use CBT and mindfulness to help you manage thoughts, emotions, and advocate for your needs. Note: Services not offered: Letter writing (for Employment, Legal, Immigration, or Emotional Support Animal requests), Psychological Testing, or Medication management

My focus

Anxiety: Managing general, social, & panic anxiety, plus effective daily coping strategies. Depression: Managing symptoms to achieve emotional well-being & balance. Boundaries: Assertiveness training to establish healthy limits & communicate needs effectively.

My approach

I want you to feel heard and understood. I am respectful of your background and identity. I see myself as your active guide, providing insights and tools drawn from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. This approach helps you clarify your thoughts, gain new perspectives, and delve into underlying patterns.

My communication style

You'll find me to be nurturing and supportive, yet direct when needed to help you achieve meaningful change. My approach is rooted in professionalism and ethical care, but I also believe in using warmth and relatable humor to help you feel more at ease and connected in our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had an interest in the field of psychology and a passion for working with children. I attended UCLA and received a B.A. in Psychology. While working in the Infant Room, one of the children's behavioral problems prompted the director to ask me to talk to the child’s parents about their marriage and home environment.

My goals for you

Ultimately, my aim is to empower you to connect with your inner resources, allowing you to find greater calm and more effectively manage daily stressors, such as focusing on and completing tasks, communicating effectively with others, and meeting your own needs.

Our first session

We will start with a formalized assessment of your symptom presentation (thoughts, emotions, and daily behaviors) and relevant history, establishing a baseline. Next, we'll develop specific treatment goals to align on your path forward. This is also your chance to ask questions about my approach and therapy process, ensuring I'm the right fit.
