I don't think I can say enough great things about Julie - besides being a wonderful therapist and…read moreperson, she genuinely cares and is extremely insightful! This shows in how well she listens and interacts, is able to pinpoint the issue(s), and also with just how easy she is to connect with. She has a way of putting a person at ease while getting to the root of things and working together for a solution. She has done so much for me personally, and I am truly grateful for her! If you are looking for an amazing therapist, you should look no further!

My first review of Julie D. Lee, LCSW was posted 1/9/19 so it's time for an update…read more I originally found my way to Julie a few years after severe and permanent injuries caused me to lose my health and career, which put enormous strains on my personal relationships. I wasn't sure I would survive at all, much less figure out how to make sense of the predicament. Prior to the catastrophe I defined my worth as a human being, my actual right to live and breathe, through work and the ability to provide for my family. That's generally a good thing, right? Workaholism is complicated. That issue alone can cause serious problems if it gets away from you. In my case, it blew up in my face when I became bedridden and unable to perform even the most basic functions, dressing and feeding myself, bathing... It took many years of excruciating effort, surgical interventions, daily physical therapy, pain management, etc., to regain a life worth living. Part of that process was accepting the fact that my injuries were permanent and I would never be the person I was before. As it turned out, I also lost a parts of me that had been causing harm to my loved ones for decades... workaholism and all the nasty little traits that were hammered into my personality in childhood. Long story short, I was raised in an extremely violent home by whackadoo parents. In the small West Texas farming community in which I was raised during the 60's and 70's, it was perfectly normal for adults in schools, churches, etc., to ignore obvious signs of child abuse. The overlapping bruises and open wounds on my back, arms, legs, and torso rarely had time to heal before more were added. My brothers and I were manipulated into fighting one another like cats and dogs and to wage emotional warfare. It seemed there was no escape from the cycle of epic violence. I followed a stereotypical path through the criminal justice system in my teens, left home at 15 years old, and became a business owner just before my 20th birthday. I became a lifelong business owner and high producer...never looked back and thought I "had it all figured out." News flash: I did not have it all figured out. I would not be alive today if I hadn't reached out for help -- not just from surgeons and such, but also those wonderful people in the behavioral health specialties -- psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. Each played a roll in the seemingly impossible task of essentially un-hammering my mind and guiding me back to a life worth living. This is where Julie comes into the picture. My wife and I rely on her for couples counseling and we are both happier for it. Julie does an outstanding job untangling communication issues and helping us see and understand underlying issues that cause stress and confusion. My wife and I also rely on individual counseling with Julie to focus on issues more specific to our own life experiences and to better understand really...everything. I still don't "have it all figured out." But I do know this: Before the injuries that broke my body down and left me a basket case, the things that I thought were most important in life, and the tools I used work my way through it, were partly correct but also intolerably self defeating. And worse, I was inadvertently hurtful to those I cared about the most. Those are tough lessons for an old billy goat like me. But I am a better person for it and I can very clearly see how much happier my life is now. So thank you Julie Lee. Thank you for going above and beyond.

As far as picking a therapist goes... You can't go wrong with Stewart Gallas. If you are struggling…read moreto change things within your life, he can help. I sincerely believe I would not be alive today, if it wasn't for him. I've struggled with extreme anxiety and depression my entire life. I thought I was doomed to a life of sadness. He was truly the first person who believed in my future... causing me to believe in it as well. He challenges me every single time we talk. Sometimes, I dig myself deep into the ground with feelings of uselessness... And without fail, he's always there with a ladder, showing me the way out. He isn't your typical pen and pad therapist. He gives you his undivided attention. He's solution-focused. He also happens to be hilarious-- which provides a sense of comfort and relief when things feel too heavy. He is extremely empathic, always going through the hard stuff with you, rather than just standing by on the sidelines. Seriously, this therapist rocks. If you are truly motivated to work on yourself, look no further than Stewart.

How do you review someone who has literally helped change -- even save -- your life? I'm afraid…read morethere aren't enough stars for the impact Patricia has had on me. She has helped my wife and I through difficult times and taught us how to start growing toward each other, not further apart. She has given me the comfort, wisdom, courage, and support I need to finally begin winning my own battles with anxiety and depression. She takes an active role in my healing, listening when I need it, but offering so much more. She challenges me. She gives me new skills to practice and ideas to try. She recommends things to read. She has helped me unbury feelings I never knew I had, and make sense of them. She taught me to be kinder to myself. And she creates a safe place to say things you've never said, to cry when you've held it in for so long, and to discover the "you" that you may have long ago buried. I still have a lot of room to grow, but I know that I am a happier, kinder, and more authentic version of myself because of Patricia. Give her a call if you are curious if she can help you. I'm forever grateful that I did.

I saw Patricia last week for a therapy session with my sister. It was the first time seeing her and…read moreour first time at therapy. Patricia was great and was easy to schedule with over email and even spoke to us before the session on the phone due to our own time restraints. During one session I feel Patricia was able to help us immensely. I feel we both came out of the session with a better understanding of how one another functions, copes, and relates. We instantly felt comfortable with Patricia and she had great skill and insight. If you are looking for a family or women's issue therapist I would definitely go see her!

This is not what's expected from a place offering psychiatric care. I will not be coming back, and have already referred acquaintances elsewhere.

I thought that would forever be my worst story of therapy gone wrong, of a therapist superimposing their own beliefs and issues on me. Diana hit a new record. She "fired" me as a client and pulled wildly unethical moves before doing so. I wholly believe that there is a time to part ways when therapy isn't serving the client or when a client is rejecting help from the therapist to everyone's detriment. Therapists have just as much of a right to end the relationship as clients do. The reason I'm writing this has nothing to do with the farewell and everything to do with how it was handled. I have an eating disorder. I made it clear from the start that I didn't care that she didn't specialize in them. I'd had enough therapy around eating disorders and wanted to take a new approach. I also told her in our first session that if she thought it wasn't a fit to have open communication because I would be doing so. I've played the "suffer through a relationship that isn't working" game too much at this point in therapy. We had weekly sessions for months. I thought many of them were helping. But then I told her how many calories I consumed during the week. That was undeniably the point where she flipped. We talked for a month or so more. She started talking to my dietician more. That seemed logical to me. And then she started telling my therapist I needed to go to treatment. Asking her why she hadn't suggested it or wasn't pushing it on me. (She has.) I am in no way a high risk anorexic. Perhaps treatment wouldn't hurt but my life right now prioritizes above something that isn't necessary. She pressured me and I said no, several times. And then the day came where she let me tell her about my life before interrupting and starting the conversation of removal of services provided. Like I mentioned, that alone wasn't the issue. What WAS the issue was that she had also called my dietician and tried to pressure her into leaving me. To the point of my dietician's discomfort and recognition that abandonment on that level would be detrimental and more harmful that good. (How Diana didn't see that, I don't know.) She gave me an ULTIMATUM of treatment or no therapy. She told me I COULD NOT go to therapy ANYWHERE until I dealt with my eating disorder. (And no, this wasn't just in reference to being cognitively unable to proceed with EMDR.) She wouldn't give me referrals. She made fun of the shirt I was wearing that day that said, "Mental health is health," because I wouldn't go to treatment. I was in utter shock during that last session so I didn't really have responses beyond saying no to treatment and that I understood where she was coming from. But none of those things are okay and I should have said that to her then. I regret that. Fuck that. I deserve therapy. Everyone does. She clearly spooked when eating disorder stuff came up, was not educated on it, and chose to bully and threaten me instead of just saying, "I'm not qualified in this topic and don't feel comfortable proceeding." Period. Period. Period. If you don't fit in her little box of qualifications, stay away. And if you pick up any of her own anxieties, leave. It's not worth wasting your time.

We will continue to use what we learned well into the future. Thanks Janie!
