Jessica "Gonji" Kang Lee, LCSW

I see my mental health work as a liberatory practice to decolonize healing and deconstruct systems of power. I will support you in uncovering creative strategies to break old patterns that are no longer useful. I can help you build a life of inner peace and emotional abundance, and hold space for you in your journey of embracing your authentic self. I find immense purpose and meaning as a therapist because I resonate with the practice of partnering with people to tap into their inner super powers to nurture a sense of joy, respite, and connection even while living under multiple systems of oppression. I hope to support you in your journey to identify self-defeating narratives that no longer serve a purpose, and facilitate the creation of a more nuanced story in which you can gain an increased sense of power and control in your life. I utilize cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical (DBT) & trauma-informed approaches, with a focus on mindfulness, holistic healing and play. I also use Brainspotting, a somatic intervention that can help your body process and release remnants of pain that may surface as emotional overwhelm, numbness, low self esteem, body pain, or reduced task performance.
