Meet Dr. Erica Lee
Hello! I’m Dr. Lee and I’m the founder of Erica Lee Counseling. I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and EMDR-trained clinician serving individuals in Washington, DC.
I received my doctorate in Counseling at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I have experience working with kiddos and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, life transitions, and attachment-related issues in both the inpatient and private practice settings. Prior to starting my private practice, I also worked as a clinical supervisor at GW’s Community Counseling Services Center (CCSC), teaching Master’s level students in their practicum year. Additionally, I served as the Program Coordinator for the Care for Creatives Program (C4C) at the CCSC, a program that offers solution-focused short-term therapy to DC artists affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
I’m a holistic-minded therapist who finds value in exploring various parts of a person’s life. I believe family dynamics, childhood experiences, social connections, and cultural background all play a significant part in shaping who you are.
My approach involves taking a closer look into family of origin and life experiences to see how it has influenced a person’s development and ability to connect with others, while also teaching skills that can help a person lead a more fulfilling life with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) modalities. If it’s the right fit, we can explore how EMDR can benefit you as well!
I have a passion for supporting individuals facing a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and stressor-related issues, attachment and relationship issues, adjustment, and Borderline Personality Disorder.

FAQs
Do you accept insurance?
No, I’m currently out of network with all insurance panels. However, I’m happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
What can I expect in the consultation call?
The consultation call is an opportunity for us to discuss what you’re wanting to work on, how you can be best supported, and discuss logistics. Plus, it’s a great way for us to get a chance to get to know each other a little.
What can I expect in the first appointment?
The first session is really about getting to know you more and what your goals are. It’s also a chance for you to get to know your therapist! The therapeutic relationship is such a crucial part of the process.
How do I get started?
Feel free to email or call, or fill out the “contact me” form. We can schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation call and go from there! Whether we work together or you work with someone else, I’d love to connect with you to help you get started on your therapy journey.
No Surprises Act
On January 1, 2022, the “No Surprises Act” went into effect. This is designed to show an estimate of expected charges for medical services provided by your provider.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE), which includes expected costs related to your treatment. (Note: GFE is a not a bill)
Health care professionals are required to provide current and potential clients a GFE in writing (paper or electronic). You may also ask your healthcare provider for a GFE before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400.00 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill. Visit http://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019 for more information.
Make sure you save a copy or picture of your GFE.
