Mija Elisabeth Lee, LPCC, NCC

Since 2017, I have supported children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient mental health clinics, public school settings and private practice. I am passionate about helping my clients regain their inner strength and navigate life’s challenges. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions for clients in California.
For OCD treatment, I have completed the IOCDF’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) training in ERP and consultations and over 50% of my client report OCD with co-occurring disorders including ADHD, ASD, and Trauma.
I provide Neurodiversity-affirming cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrative, evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. My approach considers the whole person, including their developmental, emotional, cultural, and relational experiences.

I specialize in working with clients with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), trauma-related concerns, and tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome. My qualifications include ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), Advanced Certified Autism Specialist (ACAS), and certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also trained in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT). I provide neurodiversity-affirming CBT and integrative therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Many of the clients I support experience co-occurring conditions that require a thoughtful, individualized approach. Their experiences have motivated me to deepen my knowledge through specialized training, certifications, and ongoing study so I can better understand their challenges and provide effective, compassionate care.

I have completed the International OCD Foundation’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) training in exposure and response prevention (ERP), including follow-up case consultations. I use integrative approach using individualized ERP, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and inference-based CBT (I-CBT) tailored to each client’s needs. I also adapt OCD treatment for clients with co-occurring ADHD and autism.
As a lifelong learner, I continually engage with current research, clinical training, conference, and practical therapeutic tools to strengthen my work and support meaningful progress.

I provide culturally responsive counseling that respects clients’ cultural values and family dynamics. I specialize in working with youth and young adults and serve as an effective bridge between parents & children experiencing cultural or language gaps.
As a bilingual Korean-American counselor, I have extensive experience providing culturally attuned services to immigrant and multicultural families. My work in clinics, schools, and private practice has deepened my understanding of cultural diversity, intergenerational conflict, and language barriers. I offer culturally sensitive care honoring family values, faith backgrounds, and unique social contexts. I remain committed to ongoing learning and cultural humility in my clinical practice.
