About Me
Does life seem like trudging through the mud? Do you feel sad and empty and get tired easily? Does life no longer seem enjoyable? Do you struggle to maintain daily responsibilities? I get where you are. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but you don’t have to go through challenges alone. While pain and harshness of reality are often inevitable, you can discover joy, peace, satisfaction and restoration. In the midst of difficulties, heartbreaks and wounds, I can help you find contentment and healing in your journey and get unstuck and empowered.
Being a therapist is a great privilege and honor, and I deeply value the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. My approach is direct and results-oriented but tailored to your needs, issues and goals in an atmosphere of caring, empathy and compassion.
I’m Ed. I’m excited you found me. I am a bilingual therapist (Mandarin). I have two advanced degrees (Masters of Social Work & Masters of Science in School Psychology), 3000 hours of supervision for licensure and more than twenty years of experience working with people of all ages. I am passionate and specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, ADHD, parenting issues, chronic medical issues and life transitions. I can also work with social workers, schools, nurses, doctors and other individuals in communities.
I applaud you for taking the first step toward healing. I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation and together, we can assess whether I might be the person to walk with you in your journey to a fulfilling, joyful and satisfying life.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Edward (Ed) Lei. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Ed is a wonderful listener. He is fantastic at helping unpack my sometimes very jumbled up emotions to the core concerns and gives me a variety of tools to help address them. He does so warmly, compassionately, and respectfully. I have the utmost confidence in his abillities and knowledge base. I can't recommend him enough.
Ed was a big help. He is a great listener and is very informative in his field. He always has a response to the problems you may be having.
Edward is absolutely amazing. I mean he really gets it, and is super supportive!
Ed is very empathetic and sharp, he is perceptive enough to pick up on things right away even through the remote counseling
Edward is the best counselor I have ever met. He is sincere and kind. He really listened and cared about me, he also provided good methods to help me to learn more about myself and issues. Highly recommended.
Ed is fantastic and has helped me so much already even in the short time that I’ve been working with him!
Ed is awesome. Smart, capable, and listens really, really well. Keeps me on task when I get lost in the weeds... He is genuinely sincere and professional, a perfect combination. Highly recommend!
Wonderful
Really reinforces the knowledge that you touch and and takes the time to walk you through each and every step and makes sure you understand before moving on!
