3. Therapeutic Approach

Dr. Lee's approach is grounded, pragmatic, and deeply informed by her understanding of how DC works. She knows that the people who run the country — and those who hold them accountable — are often running on empty. She uses EMDR to process the accumulated weight of secondary trauma and moral injury, while DBT and MBSR provide practical tools for emotional regulation in high-pressure environments. Her clients value her discretion, her insider's understanding of political culture, and her genuine commitment to their sustainability as public servants.

She offers in-person sessions in Dupont Circle and telehealth across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
