Lee-Andre Garvin, LPC

Lee-Andre Garvin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with seven years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

Lee-Andre uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to help people understand what gets in the way of feeling more steady. Sessions focus on building skills for coping with intense emotions and reducing avoidance. He draws on approaches like mindfulness, motivational interviewing, talk-based trauma work, and expressive methods such as art therapy.

His background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Denver and clinical work across the Front Range. He has experience as a substance use counselor and as a high-school and community mental health therapist. That work included treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, bipolar symptoms, dissociation, and identity questions about race and gender.

In sessions Lee-Andre treats therapy as a collaboration. He helps identify where small practical changes can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Conversations may include exploring unconscious patterns, practicing mindfulness skills, or using creative activities to access difficult feelings.

People often start by naming the problem they'd like to change and then scheduling a first meeting to set goals. Lee-Andre frames therapy around each person’s strengths and the steps they want to take toward clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
