Dave Lee
I am a Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. As a licensed mental health therapist for over 35 years, what is most important to me is understanding what the people that I work with want in their therapy. As we face stressful challenges in our lives, we can all benefit from gaining another, independent perspective to help guide us to solutions. Being appointed to Minnesota's State Advisory Council on Mental Health, I am able to stay current with new developments in the mental health field.
First session
A brief introduction of myself, logistics, and required disclosures. I am most interested in beginning to understand what brings the client to our session.
Strengths
The connection between a therapist and those they work with is most important. Finding the right "fit" may take some time, however, therapy is most successful when this occurs. I use a combination of Person-Centered, Collaborative, and Solution-Focused Therapies.
Ideal clients
Individuals and couples going through life changes and encountering new stressors in their lives have been a regular part of my practice. I also work with families encountering relationship issues, communication challenges, and clarity of expectations.
