Sam Lee, LMHC

I’m a Taiwanese American therapist who grew up in both the U.S. and Japan. Living between cultures has shaped how I understand identity, belonging, and the complexity of navigating different worlds. My style is open-minded, warm, and reflective, and I aim to create a space where you can explore your experiences with honesty and care.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and English from North Carolina State University.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve worked with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and intersecting identities, including race, culture, gender, sexuality, age, and spirituality. My experience spans community mental health, youth development, and college counseling, including Family First Community Services (NC), CUNY John Jay College (post-graduate training), Good Shepherd Services, FEGS, CUNY Lehman College, St. Joseph’s College, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

I approach my work with a strong commitment to ethical, thoughtful care. I follow the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics and continue to engage in ongoing training, supervision, and consultation to support the quality of my work.
