Gonji Lee (they/them), LCSW #88522

FOUNDER + YOUTH, ADULT & COUPLES/POLYCULE THERAPIST

You deserve to have a therapist who is able to hold you in all of your nuanced complexities. As a queer, neurodivergent, Corean child of immigrants, I hope to provide a relevant healing space for children, teens, QTIBIPOC, neurodivergent and nonmonogamous folks to feel seen and heard. I am passionate about decolonizing healing practices, and believe that there must be individual (psychotherapy), community (interdependent care systems), and systemic (community organizing & advocacy) change in order to set up the conditions for our communities to thrive. I am certified in Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, and am extensively trained in high-fidelity Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting for children, teens, and adults. I believe in holistic healing practices, and incorporate the aforementioned methods of talk therapy, somatic work, and various creative outlets to support you in your wellness journey. I believe you have the inherent power and wisdom to access your own healing. I hope to bring our collective wisdom together to realize your personal vision for change. 

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 have the privilege to witness firsthand how our communities will not be denied our dignity and our right to thrive. 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.
