For the summer months, I am offering an innovative approach to therapy called "Fitness Fridays." These are sessions that fuse fitness/strength training/cardio with talk therapy. If you are someone who is looking to improve your overall health and find it beneficial to move as you process and talk, this is for you. This is a way to maximize your time and couple two wonderful ways to treat yourself well- therapy and exercise. You just need some basic dumbbells, a set of ear buds, and comfortable clothing. This is a short term approach with a very targeted weekly focus. If you are looking for longer term therapy, this may not be the right fit for you.
I have been a therapist in Illinois for 20 years working with clients struggling primarily with anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting, ADHD, and grief/loss. I have a Master's in Social Work degree from University of Illinois at Chicago as well as an additional certification in mindfulness. My therapy approach involves creating a compassionate, calm space where clients can delve into the barriers that make life difficult to manage. Using a solution-focused based therapy infused with dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness training, clients are able to reflect on changes they want to see and make small steps in a positive direction. We all have good intentions but sometimes our busy and overwhelming lives keep us from forming better habits. I encourage clients to access mindfulness and positive self care strategies that are easy to implement for noticeable and effective change so life can be lived to the fullest!
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erin Lee. 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.
Erin is caring and compassionate while also providing a pragmatic and realistic approach to solving problems. As a mom and professional, she's able to relate her own experiences to help me and to make me feel I'm not alone in my challenges. Erin is easy to talk to and i appreciate her warm and welcoming personality.
