Lani Lee, MFT

Psychotherapy sets aside time in the week for reflection. It provides a supportive environment in which to reconnect with yourself, to feel what you are feeling, to value yourself, to express yourself in the presence of an empathic other, and to move towards growth and healing. Therapy helps you get to really know yourself better, and helps you to learn love and compassion for yourself along the way. Therapy can help you to become aware of often unconscious interaction patterns (how you treat yourself and others) that you have picked up throughout your life. When you become aware of these patterns you can then evaluate if they are helping you and if they are hindering you, and learn how to create new patterns of interaction that lead to more satisfaction and connection.

I focus on helping my clients learn healthy patterns of relating, foster compassion for the self, access inner resources, grow self esteem, practice healthy boundaries, and connect deeply with themselves and others.

In order to do the often vulnerable work of therapy, you have to feel comfortable with the therapist you choose to work with. I give particular attention to creating safety in the room throughout the therapeutic process and welcome collaboration in this process.
