About Jon
👋🏼 I’m Jon Lee (they/them)
I’m a queer, non-binary, AuDHD (autistic and ADHD), Taiwanese-American therapist, located on un-ceded Ohlone Land (Oakland, CA). People tend to describe me as intentional, perceptive, compassionate, and creative.
I recognize that trauma and resilience are political.
Relentlessly curious about trauma recovery and healing practices, I’m committed to continuous learning and my own ongoing inner work. As a therapist, I show up fully for each client’s unique wellness journey with utmost respect and reverence. It brings me special joy to support and witness recovery, healing, and growth for people at intersections of queerness, gender expansiveness, BIPOC identities, and/or neurospiciness.
Certified Level 3 TIST Practitioner
TIST Senior Trainer for Clinicians
Level 2 Brainspotting Practitioner
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Provider
I’ve devoted my therapist journey to specializing in trauma’s effects and many manifestations.
As a complex trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand how crucial it is to have actionable practices and steps that bring lasting change. Especially lasting change that unfolds from the “bottom-up” (from deeper layers of our psyche and mind-body connection) – not just “top-down” (not just relying on analytical thinking).
Let’s collaborate, so that you can feel less lost and alone, and more equipped with practical tools and maps towards your goals!
You deserve highly specialized therapy.
How I show up
Values and approaches
Non-pathologizing, curious, uplifting all aspects of you
Meeting you wherever you are in your journey, working at your pace
Collaborative, anti-oppressive, centering your innate wisdom
Honoring transpersonal, spiritual, ancestral, and non-physical dimensions of being
Informed by an intersectional social justice lens and liberatory frameworks
Main methods I offer
Parts work (TIST, IFS)
A somatic and mindfulness-based way of working through internal conflicts, emotional distress, dissociative experiences, trauma-related challenges, and much more. It promotes more sense of choice, clarity, alignment, and mental flexibility.
Brainspotting
A powerful and impactful way to process remnants of trauma lodged deeper in our psyches, utilizing the brain’s innate healing intelligence. It operates on the premise of “where we look affects how we feel.”
Somatic and mindfulness-based
Help people build a more fine-tuned and conscious relationship with their mind-body connection, with roots in ancient Eastern and Indigenous traditions and practices.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
KAP combines psychotherapy with the psychedelic effects of lower doses of ketamine, which can deepen and expand the effects of psychotherapy.
