Lee M Stillerman, PhD

As a licensed psychologist, I understand that seeking help can be a daunting task. It's common to feel uncertain about where to turn or how to find the right therapist. I'm Dr. Lee M. Stillerman, and I'm here to guide you on your journey towards mental health and wellness.

About Me

With my education and training from reputable institutions, including New Mexico State University, I have built a strong foundation in counseling psychology. I hold a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from 2006, a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Marist College, and a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Rhode Island. Additionally, I completed a predoctoral internship at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Boston College, University Counseling Services.

Services Offered

As a licensed therapist, I provide individual psychotherapy services for adults. My approach is centered around empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude. I work with my clients to identify areas where we can improve thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop more adaptive and functional responses to life's challenges. My services include:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) - An effective approach to help you manage negative thought patterns and behaviors, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
• Psychodynamic therapy - A focus on understanding the unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations that drive your behaviors.
• Existential therapy - Exploring the meaning and purpose of life, and finding ways to achieve personal fulfillment.

Online Therapy Sessions

Convenience and flexibility are key in today's busy world. I offer online therapy sessions, making it easier for you to access professional support from the comfort of your own home. You can schedule sessions through my email or phone number, and I'll be in touch to discuss your needs and create a personalized plan for your mental health journey.

Fees and Insurance

I understand that cost is an important consideration when seeking therapy. My fees are $165 per 50-minute session for individual therapy. Self-pay clients are welcome, and I offer a sliding scale fee in some cases. For those with insurance, I currently accept Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, and Magellan. It's essential to check your insurance plan for benefits, including deductibles and copays.

Crisis Resources

In the event of a crisis, it's crucial to have access to immediate support. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988) is a 24/7 hotline where trained crisis counselors are available to listen and provide guidance. You can also text the Crisis Text Line by sending the message "HOME" to 741741.
