A Message from the founder of Growth Counseling, Mari A. Lee, LMFT, CSAT-S, CPTT-S, MBATT-S...

Are you or is someone you love struggling with sex or pornography addiction or unhealthy compulsive sexual choices, infidelity and secrets that are hurting your life and relationship?  Or, are you a partner or spouse who is dealing with devastating impact of betrayal trauma and you are in need of support. If so, I am glad you are here.

Sex addiction and betrayal therapist in Los Angeles, california

For over 15 years, my counseling support has been dedicated to helping each client and couple step-by-step, confidentially, and without judgment. I specialize in counseling for sex addiction, counseling for women and partners and spouses of sex and porn addicts, betrayal trauma, and counseling for couples. I meet each client where they are with a focused therapy plan and solid tools with accountability and compassion so that you can build a life that is rewarding and relationships you are proud of. 

I am not a "bobble head" therapist, and I do not believe that counseling is meant to last forever. Rather it is a season of focused support so that you can heal and grow.

I will help you meet your goals so that when you leave our work at Growth Counseling, you are confidently equipped with life long tools and a map of support to take with you on your journey forward. You are welcome to contact me via mari@growthcounselingservices.com. I am here to help you or those you love move forward in healing and hope.

Counseling You Can Trust

Choosing the right therapist who is licensed and experienced is an important step in your healing...

Every person struggles at some point in their life and needs support along the way.  Whether you are struggling with sex or pornography addiction, are the betrayed partner or spouse of a sex addict, a couple who needs support healing a hurting relationship, or if you are dealing with depression or anxiety, I bring over 15 years of clinical experience and work with my clients confidentially, step-by-step, in order to help each person move forward in their life and relationships. Together we will help move you out of anxiety, addiction, betrayal, hurt and shame toward a more balanced and joyful life.

When I first started counseling I had so many mixed emotions, mostly I felt hurt, overwhelmed, and alone. My therapist at Growth Counseling taught me specific tools, and helped me re-focus my lens in order to make healthy choices and heal. I really appreciate the support I have received; it hasn’t been easy, but is has been so worth it!
