Mija Elisabeth Lee, LPCC, NCC

Since 2017, I have supported children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient mental health clinics and public school settings. I specialize in working with clients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety disorders, phobias, OCD, 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). For OCD treatment, I have completed the IOCDF’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) and consultations. I am also trained in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT).

I provide neurodiversity-affirming cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrative, evidence-informed approaches tailored to each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. My approach considers the whole person, including their developmental, emotional, cultural, and relational experiences.

As a lifelong learner, I continually engage with current research, clinical training, and practical therapeutic tools to strengthen my work and support meaningful progress.

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 treat children, adolescents, and adults with OCD, using individualized ERP to address avoidance, compulsions, mental rituals, and reassurance seeking. My integrative approach incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and inference-based CBT (I-CBT), tailored to each client’s needs. As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider and Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, I also adapt OCD treatment for clients with co-occurring ADHD and autism.

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 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.
