Healing with Lee

Marriage and Family Therapy in California

Who is Lee?

Hi, My name is Yuhyeon “Lee” Urias, and please call me “Lee.”

I’m a registered associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT #134514) in California and provide online therapy (Telehealth) sessions for individuals, couples, and families anywhere in California.

I come from an Asian immigrant and multicultural background. Therefore, I understand what therapy means to you and what challenges you could be facing. You took the first step on this journey. Together, we can strengthen your tools to reconnect with yourself and your environment.

Top Specialties: Adult ADHD, Relational issues (multicultural/interracial couples & infidelity), Codependency, and Anxiety

Other therapeutic issues: Addiction, Substance abuse, Depression, Family conflict, Grief & Loss, Immigration & Acculturation, Life transitions, Self-esteem, Trauma & PTSD, and Veteran’s issues.

Therapeutic approaches: Culturally Responsiveness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Family System, Gottman Couples Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strength Base therapy

Understanding individual’s core-beliefs is important for us to figure out where we are now. When we develop irrational beliefs about ourselves instead of healthy core-belief, we often feel disconnected with environment, others and ourselves. I’ll assist you to recognize what core-belief, behavioral and emotional patterns you’ve been using and what would work better to reconnect to yourself.

I have a passion to work with couples who struggle with boundaries issue, active conflicts, more than one partner’s mental health issues or multi-cultural issues. I encourage my clients actively practice on improving their communication skills & critical thinking to enhance their problem-solving skills. Our therapeutic goal would be accepting each partner’s personality and creating mutual culture.

*For out of network, I can provide clients superbills, so they may request reimbursement to their insurance company directly. If clients need sliding scale, we can discuss it as well. Feel free to contact me, so we can explore more options.

I’ve been working with immigrant (1st generation), adult children of immigrants (1.5/2nd generation, Asian American & Latinx) and

multicultural/interracial couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issue, adults’ ADHD, boundaries issues, and trauma in therapy, I collaborate with my clients on finding effective ways of communication, changing irrational beliefs, learning/setting healthier boundaries, and identifying/expressing emotions. I try to assist them to interpret their issues from different angles. Although it can be challenging to achieve our therapeutic goals, I trust that my clients can work through this journey because they’re resilient and strong.

The most important thing is making sure my clients feel understood. That is why I have a passion to support clients to reconnect to themselves by analyzing their reality and patterns. I also assist clients to practice redefining themselves and re-establising healthier behavioral and emotional patterns based on CBT, Gottman, Attachment & Family system lenses.

You’re not alone. I understand that we sometimes may feel like we have nothing or nobody in our lives. It makes us feel like we are walking alone through a long and dark tunnel. I believe that therapy can be a lamplight to navigate your paths to get out. Together, we can strengthen your tools to reconnect with yourself and your environment.
