Anne Lee

Anne Lee is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Lake Forest, CA with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field working with individuals, couples, and families. She is also a registered dietitian and nutritionist, positioning her well to treat eating disorders. She also specializes in working with those who have addictions or mood disorders like anxiety or depression. Often, Anne’s clients’ struggles with their mental - and sometimes physical - health results in relationship conflicts or difficulties coping with change. Anne provides compassionate therapeutic services to help clients move past their symptoms and live healthy lives.

Anne’s approach to therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clients learn about the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, as Anne highlights how negative thought patterns can exacerbate distress. Clients practice avoiding cognitive distortions, self-criticism, and judgment. Clients who would like to break free from addictions or the harmful behaviors associated with their eating disorders benefit from Anne’s knowledge of trauma-informed care. They talk openly and vulnerably about why they might have developed such habits, as they feel comfortable developing their insight with Anne.

Anne earned a Master’s degree from California Southern University. She is collaborative, encouraging her clients to direct their own treatment. She brings experiences into the session so that clients can practice their coping skills in real time and with her support. Her warmth and kindness allow clients to travel through their treatment feeling supported and cared for.
