About: Caterina Sanfilippo Lee, LCSW

Greetings

I'm Caterina Sanfilippo Lee (pronouns: she, her, and hers) and I am a mother of twins, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, friend and therapist. 

Some may also call me: a compassionate and listening ear, holder of vulnerability, accountability coach, and celebrator of all moments of progress.  

I have also felt what you’re feeling right now; the struggle is REAL.   

what therapy with me is like:

It is an honor to be a part of your journey. Together, we will deepen your awareness and understanding, heal, grow and learn skills so you can live in a way that aligns with your values. I believe in having a strong and trusting relationship; we will have check-ins and I welcome and incorporate your feedback. I use evidence-based practices and my approach can be described as culturally-responsive, collaborative and action-oriented. My style is to bring my open, authentic, curious, compassionate, and sometimes humorous self into the room.
