Lee Atkinson Jr.

My name is Lee Atkinson Jr., and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A).

I graduated from Pepperdine University with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Counseling. A main consideration in my work is the systemic impact on daily living. How we see the world is filtered through the environments in which we find ourselves. I have worked with adults and couples throughout my program and have developed an appreciation for an eclectic approach. A technique that works for another person might not work for you, and that is okay!

Even though I prioritize eclecticism, I enjoy working with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Brainspotting. Learning about and staying curious about past experiences can help enhance acceptance toward the things we cannot control while also helping us understand how our internal systems react to the world around us. The therapeutic process is a collaborative journey grounded in transparency and authenticity. In a world that is so fast-paced, therapy can help us appreciate slower moments and give time back to ourselves.

Outside of therapy, you can find me enjoying my hobbies, cooking, gaming, spending time with my family, and appreciating the slow moments.
