Elizabeth Rhee, LMFT
clinical supervisor | MFC #122155
As an Asian American / Korean licensed marriage and family therapist, registered art therapist, and certified brainspotting practitioner with in-person sessions at two Los Angeles offices based in Highland Park and Koreatown. With 11 years of practice, my clinical experience includes working with various communities of color and marginalized folx in child and family clinics, intensive care settings, outpatient centers, and private practice. As an intuitive and creative clinician, I integrate neurobiologically informed, psychosomatic, and creative-oriented approaches to support clients, a lot of whom have tried therapy before or have been in therapy for years—yet still feel they haven’t experienced the depth of change they seek within themselves or their relationships.
I currently focus my clinical work with adult professionals in the creative, entertainment, finance, and tech industries, entrepreneurs, healthcare and mental health professionals. I enjoy supporting any of you who identify as an empath, highly sensitive people (HSP), have ever felt like the black sheep or that you never fit with the conventional path of life, struggle to feel alone even when you have people around you, often feel resentful only to realize it when it's too far gone, and have learned to find security in living in someone else's shadow finding it difficult to take up space for yourself.
I also enjoy supporting couples in various stages or other dyads (friends, siblings) who have experienced broken trust or feel stuck in the same fight that seems impossible to resolve and are looking for tools to cultivate mutual trust, safety, respect, and deeper connection.
I look forward to meeting each of you as one human being to another, to embrace the intricacies of your unique identity and path of life. I prioritize pursuit of my own healing knowing that the deeper I go in my journey, the deeper I can support others in theirs. I fully embrace my identity as cis hetero woman, Korean-American child of immigrant parents, healer, empath, sister, friend, partner, creative, and person of faith. I strive to be anti-racist, culturally affirming, social justice-oriented, and trauma-informed in my approach, being up to date with the latest findings and training.

I work from a trauma-informed, family systems, depth-oriented approach that informs the way I will hold your unique complexity, family of origin dynamics, and the other systems you exist within. I will support you to foster insight into how your experiences have informed your current sense of self and learn new ways of moving through your pain so that you can live in alignment with your authentic identity and cultivate meaningful relationships. I also utilize a psychosomatic approach to help you integrate the understanding of the connection between your brain and body that has informed your lived experience, who you are, and where you are today. I integrate a brain and body based process called Brainspotting to support deep processing in order to heal trauma and make lasting neurological changes. When clinically appropriate, I also offer the option to integrate art therapy directives into my session to support those who would benefit from nonverbal methods.
Therapist-client fit is important to the therapy experience
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to determine if we might be a good fit to work together. It takes courage to reach out for support. I consider it a privilege to journey alongside you toward your healing and wellness that empowers you to live out your most authentic life.
