Hello, I'm Lesa Vander Bie, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25+ years experience and committed to providing a supportive and empowering space for us to create positive change in your life. I have extensive experience in addressing such issues as anxiety, depression, life transitions, etc. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy which is exploring and understanding the links of how your childhood experiences are internalized and repeated in adulthood. We identify which parts of those patterns are no longer effective and work together to change them into new, healthier ways of relating and reaching your aspirations. I value creating a collaborative relationship which helps me tailor our sessions to adapt to your specific needs. I was born and raised in the Midwest / Arizona and have a background in the Performing and Visual Arts and have a successful practice in Southern California. I look forward to coming along side you to help you gain clarity, valuable new insight, and equipping you to reach your life goals so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life. 

TELEHEALTH EXCEPTIONS:  Unfortunately, I am NOT able to offer tele-health to individuals who are:
Trauma work via telehealth (childhood abuse, adult assaults, etc.), nor EMDR treatment
High risk (suicidal, domestic violence, child abuse, sex-trafficking victims, homicidal)
Cases involved in a child custody case or lawsuit (suing another person or entity)
Currently dealing with a crime
Psychosis, Bi-Polar

SPECIALTY:  I DO provide Personal Therapy to psychology graduate students (MFT/SW) in California.
