Tia Lee

Hi, I’m Tia Lee, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of experience serving diverse populations in New York. My background spans outpatient mental health, addiction recovery, and community-based services. I've worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I bring not only clinical expertise, but also real-life understanding of how overwhelming it can feel to seek help — and how powerful that first step can be. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to helping clients reconnect with themselves, rediscover their strengths, and create meaningful change. Whether you're looking for clarity, healing, or support, I aim to provide a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard.

My therapeutic style is eclectic, collaborative, and person-centered. I understand that no two individuals are alike, so I tailor treatment to meet you where you are. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. I also incorporate mindfulness and strengths-based practices, tailored to your specific goals.

At the heart of my approach is empathy, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity to grow and heal. Whether you’re exploring identity, healing from past wounds, or managing day-to-day stress, therapy with me is a partnership built on trust, curiosity, and compassion.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a strong foundation. You can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where we explore what brings you to therapy, your hopes, and what you'd like to work on together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, seen, and supported — while also laying the groundwork for meaningful, client-led progress. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting — just come as you are. We’ll work together from there.
