With 20+ years of experience, I can offer you various tools to help you on your journey. I've raised six children and I can offer empathy and understanding of family life very effectively. I strongly believe that assisting someone make choices is the best way to feel better. I have worked with individuals, with anxiety and depression In a non-judgmental environment, we can explore avenues that you as the client present. I am experienced in EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) used most effectively with trauma.

If you seek a counselor that is direct and real, look no further because I am that person.

First session

In our first session, we will start with brief introductions then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. We will determine if we have the 'chemistry' to experience successful counseling. These sessions are for you, the client ,and you will determine how to proceed and what you want to talk about.

Strengths

My biggest strength lies in my many years of experience dealing with an enormous amount different experiences. I use a number of 'tools' and I think out-of-the-box. I am quirky direct and different. If ordinary is what you seek, I am not that person.

Ideal clients

Those clients with depression, anxiety, and trauma are the population I am best suited to support. I also have provided counseling to the LGBTQ community. The most successful clients are those who are willing to to look at themselves honestly. One specific goal is that my clients feel better when they leave than when we started. Counseling can be a big decision. Those who prioritize their treatment get the best results.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Once clients become familiar with their 'thinking errors or cognitive distortions' they can learn to reframe negative thoughts to positive ones.

Reality Therapy

We all make choices. Reality therapy allows us to accept our choices in a very non-judgmental way and put our choices in a context we can understand.

Lee is wise and welcoming. She doesn't pander or mince words, but still approaches every issue as a person who is unequivocally my advocate. Her perspective has proven incredibly valuable to me on multiple occasions. Our sessions often feel like a discussion between equals, in that she listens and responds thoughtfully to the things I say. The fact that she does this while also deftly steering me towards healthier priorities and viewpoints is pretty darn impressive.

For a first session, I really enjoyed Lee Ristick, I liked that she was honest about her care and how she views self-care on your own terms and the importance of it. I’m looking forward to more sessions with her being able to open up more, hear her thoughts on how to work on things or just how she takes information in!

I thought Dr Ritsick was open minded, authentic and solution motivated to help me through my struggles. She made me feel comfortable yet set what her expectations of visits would be like she does not hold back her thoughts I appreciated tht.
