Lee Collins, LCPC

Integrative Motivation & Relationship Specialist

Welcome! I’m passionate about guiding individuals like you through transformative journeys towards greater well-being and fulfillment. My approach is rooted in understanding how positive mindset shifts and constructive self-talk can dramatically alter one's life trajectory. Imagine waking up each day fueled by optimism and a clear sense of direction towards your goals. Imagine transforming conflicts and challenges into stepping stones rather than setbacks. This isn't just a dream—it's a possibility, and it begins with changing your inner dialogue, challenging limiting beliefs, and leveraging your strengths to cultivate empowering habits and enriching relationships.

If you've tried to initiate change but find yourself stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated, you're not alone. My personal experience with overcoming feelings of defeat and depression has taught me not only the challenges but also the profound rewards of regaining control over one’s thoughts and crafting a life filled with peace and meaning. Change is indeed challenging, but it is also within your reach and immensely rewarding.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with Insight Therapy and a focus on the Readiness to Change model. This blend of philosophical understanding (psychoeducation) and practical application has proven highly effective in helping my clients navigate their struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.

I am committed to working with clients who are earnest about improving, ready to look inward, strive for consistency, and are struggling to maintain their self-esteem. Whether you have been coping on your own for some time or are just beginning to question whether significant personal evolution is possible, remember—you are not alone. These challenges do not have to define your reality. With commitment and work, managing your emotions and rediscovering your zest for life is not just possible but expected.

Let's embark on this journey together. It’s time to build a life where you can thrive. Let’s get started.
