How to select the right therapist

Welcome.  I am Joseph Lee, a license Psychologist. I know how important it is to find a compassionated therapist with whom you could feel comfortable to share your personal feeling.

My advise is: don’t be blocked down by the difficulty of selecting a therapist. Engage in therapy as soon as possible.)
