Lee is an experienced psychologist who has practised in Quebec for more than thirty years. During her career, Lee has practised psychotherapy with adults, elementary and high school students, CEGEP students, and hearing-impaired people from elementary school age to adulthood. She has been conducting psychoeducational assessments since 1974 and has worked with all kinds of children, including those with hearing impairment, learning disabilities, developmental delay, attention deficit disorder, autism, Asperger's Disorder, and more serious disorders. She has assessed more than 100 children for Kindergarten derogations (waivers for early entry to Kindergarten).
Lee has a bachelor's degree in psychology from McGill and a master's degree from the University of Waterloo. She became a member of the Ordre des Psychologues in 1970.
Lee worked for 17 years at the Montreal Oral School for the Deaf, and at the Mackay Centre. She has a private practice in Gatineau, Quebec, and can be reached at:

In psychotherapy, Lee takes a cognitive-behavioural approach, meaning that she is more likely to ask you to focus on your present feelings, thoughts and behaviours than on your past. Lee also practises play therapy with children. Play therapy works in an indirect, symbolic way on children's thoughts and feelings.
Lee assesses children who are having problems at school and advises both school and parents on effective ways of helping children to learn.
Lee is married and lives in Ottawa.
