Libby Lee
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. My name is Libby, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, serving clients residing in Wisconsin and Texas. With over ten years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents and adults from some of the most vulnerable populations. As a Black female therapist, I am acutely aware of the significant stigma surrounding mental health treatment within Black and Brown communities. Various barriers contribute to the existing gap in mental health care, such as:
As a Black female therapist, I am acutely aware of the significant stigma surrounding mental health treatment within Black and Brown communities.
*An overwhelming fear of sharing personal experiences with a stranger *Potential stigma from family and friends *The most significant barrier, however, is silence. Regrettably, many individuals endure their struggles in isolation, allowing harmful generational patterns—such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD—to persist. My mission is to disrupt these negative cycles by fostering a safe space for healing and helping you to rewrite your story.
First session
Starting with a new therapist can be a bit anxiety provoking, if you are new to therapy or even if you have participated in therapy in the past. I work to provide a safe and confidential space for you to speak openly about your challenges, to find clarity, and gain insight, so that you can make informed choices for your future.
Strengths
I am warm, welcoming, and believe in the therapeutic process. I know that I am walking in my purpose as a therapist.
Ideal clients
My clients represent a broad diversity of culture, age, and life experiences which brings richness to my growth as a therapist. I enjoy creating a deep and meaningful partnership with my clients by meeting you where you are on your path to well-being, and uncover your true potential for growth in all aspects of life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a negative cycle.
Attachment-based
Attachment based therapy aims to help people address and resolve past traumas and attachment wounds that stem from childhood.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS therapy focuses on enhancing ability to attend to difficult and distressing internal experiences (i.e. “vulnerable parts”) mindfully and with self-compassion (i.e. from the Self), in order to increase capacity to successfully “be with” or tolerate and process trauma.
