Hatty J. Lee

With a deep understanding of the nuances in immigrant family dynamics and a keen focus on fostering meaningful relationships, Hatty J. Lee, LMFT, brings a wealth of experience to her role as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her 14-year journey in the mental health field has taken her through diverse settings, including child and family clinics, schools, adult outpatient centers, and private practice, shaping her holistic approach to therapy.

As the founder and director of Oak and Stone Therapy, Hatty combines her professional expertise with her personal experiences as a child of Korean immigrants, a married cis woman, and a mother of two. This unique perspective allows her to connect deeply with clients navigating complex cultural identities, relationship challenges, and the demands of balancing personal and professional life.

Hatty's clinical focus spans a wide range of clientele, including adult professionals in the creative and entertainment industry, public figures, leaders in advocacy work, entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and individuals in helping professions. She has a particular passion for supporting mothers with postpartum depression/anxiety, couples, and adult children navigating relationships with their immigrant families. Her work with highly sensitive people (HSP) and Asian Americans exploring their racial, ethnic, sexual, professional, and spiritual identities showcases her commitment to addressing the multifaceted nature of personal growth.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Hatty is a clinical supervisor and the author of The Indwell Guide, which creatively integrates visual storytelling, mental health education, and practical tools to support healing and personal growth. Her approach is characterized by a high value for creativity, safety, integrity, and relational depth in therapy, influenced by her identity as an intuitive feeler (NF).

Hatty's commitment to personal growth extends beyond her professional role. She actively engages in her own inner work, recognizing its impact on her ability to support clients effectively. This includes being part of a nourishing community, prioritizing rest without guilt, and continuing her own therapy journey. Her dedication to breaking intergenerational trauma through her personal and professional roles underscores her holistic approach to healing and growth.

At Oak and Stone Therapy, clients can expect a therapist who brings her whole self to the therapeutic relationship, offering a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight. Hatty's approach is tailored to those ready to challenge what no longer serves them and build a life filled with nourishing relationships and meaningful work.
