experience culturally grounded therapy
At the core of my practice is the understanding that each person's story is shaped by their unique experiences, culture, and background. This is why I focus on providing personalized and culturally relevant evidence-based therapies. By honoring the diversity of each individual and integrating cultural considerations into the healing process, my goal is to ensure that my clients receive tailored support to not only survive but to THRIVE.

Meet Dr. Teotico-Lee (she/her)
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Washington (#61415931), California (#34001), New York (#027020) and Psypact States (#17762) who specializes in culturally responsive, client-centered care. I currently offer individual and couples therapy through online sessions. I am an integrative therapist who utilizes psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic modalities to cater to the whole person and address a variety of concerns, such as race and cultural issues, identity development, relational distress, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
I have extensive experience with working with diverse clientele, including Asian Americans, immigrants, international students, undocumented individuals, first-generation college students and the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. I previously served on the Undocumented Students Program, International Student Wellness, and Asian-American mental health team at UCLA and Harvard. I was also awarded the Asian American Psychological Association Leadership Fellowship for my work in promoting Asian American mental health. I’m dedicated to social and racial justice and emphasize therapy that examines my client’s experiences through a multicultural lens. Through my collaborative approach to therapy, I aim to have my clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. Past clients have described me as genuine, kind, and empathetic.
I identify as a Filipino American, bilingual (Tagalog), first-generation immigrant, cisgender, heterosexual, able bodied woman. I was born in the Philippines and immigrated with my family to Los Angeles, CA. I presently reside in Seattle, WA. In my free time, I love to dance, swim, craft, and travel with friends and family.
