Marriage is hard work. Not always, but for the times when it is, my hubby and I decided --…read morehurtling dangerously close to our 20th anniversary -- that we were going to bite the bullet and aim to become better people for each other. That way, on the cusp of celebrating our 40th, we knew not only had we done everything possible for each other, but that what we'd done hadn't been just lip service. Rob proved to be someone we didn't expect. Unlike anyone else we'd ever worked with before (we'd tried this once not fully invested and another time in earnest but with someone who didn't work for us), Rob challenged us to not concentrate on the SMALL issues (the nitpicky issues), but on the LARGER picture (so different in concept from others who wanted us to talk every problem to death). Now, we'd both *wanted* to talk these little things through! We thought this was the way to navigate those hurdles, to talk them over, then decide on an answer, and somehow keep it that way! But Rob encouraged us, based on the idea that every issue someone argues is based on all kinds of things, from perception, to baggage, to the way a person was raised, to even just average brain chemistry, people fight for all kinds of reasons and in arguing the small stuff, people lose what it is they're really fighting for or about. What we've taken away from working with Rob, so far, has been totally invaluable. An endeavor we thought we'd embark on for a short term has been two years in the works and we're happy to continue working with him. We've learned so much about ourselves and each other, so far, and this is from a couple who has been together for 27 years!! Everything we learn makes us better people!! All of that is to say we HIGHLY recommend him!

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.
