Caroline Lee

Hello! My name is Caroline, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience working with a wide range of people. I was inspired to become a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) after my first experience receiving mental health care and resources when attending UC Davis. Inspired by my own therapist and my love for psychology, I felt I could also be a helpful tool to others in the same ways that had greatly benefited me in the past. I completed my master's program for clinical psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family therapy, at Pepperdine University, and have worked in both non-profit and private practice clinical settings during my internship/associateship. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who experience depression, anxiety, relationship/family issues, trauma, and who identify as neurodiverse. I also have vast experience working with perinatal and postpartum women, young working adults, and those who have experienced complex childhood trauma.

With a background in human development and the training I received during my internship/associateship, I do my best to meet my clients with empathy, open-mindedness, and curiosity; I encourage my clients to take charge and autonomy as they step into the "main character" role in their own lives. Using humanistic therapy values as my foundation, I primarily use psychodynamic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based/relational therapy modalities. I also use different interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strength-based therapy as I try to meet my clients where they are.

Please expect to answer many questions as I get to know you! I also review expectations with all clients so we are on the same page from the start.
