Theresa Marie Lee is a licensed professional counselor with nearly 15 years of experience, holding a MSCP and LPC. She firmly believes that healing cannot occur in the presence of shame and guilt, which motivates her to foster a non-judgmental space where clients can openly discuss their challenges. Specializing in substance use disorders, she recognizes the feelings of guilt and shame that often accompany addictive behaviors. Her mission is to de-stigmatize these issues and educate both clients and their families, enabling everyone to heal and move toward fulfilling lives and meaningful connections. In addition to her counseling practice, she serves as a full-time professor of psychology at Penn State University, where she is well-known among her clients and students for her insightful recognition of life’s challenges. She often reminds those she encounters that, 'Every one of us has difficult times in our lives, and if you haven't yet, just wait; it's coming...' This perspective reflects her understanding of the dualities of life—joys and losses. With compassion and understanding, Theresa is dedicated to supporting individuals who are navigating their struggles and seeking to transform their lives.
