Dr. Jonathan Lee is the John J.B. Morgan Postdoctoral Fellow at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, completing an advanced research and clinical training in individual, couples, and family therapy.
Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts where he was a member of the Acceptance, Mindfulness, and Emotion Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Susan Orsillo. Prior to joining The Family Institute, he completed an APA-approved pre-doctoral internship at the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Health Care System, Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center, with rotations in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Time Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy, Behavioral Medicine, and Polytrauma. Prior to his internship training, he held clinical research appointments at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University, and Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University. His previous training also included specialties in psychodiagnostic and neuropsychological assessment.
Dr. Lee treats adults and couples. He has received training in several empirically supported psychotherapies including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, Applied Relaxation (AR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness- and acceptance-based behavioral therapies. He has a specialty in the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and integrates mindfulness- and acceptance-based strategies with evidence-based principles to help enrich clients' lives by moving toward valued life directions.
Dr. Lee's research is focused on understanding the psychological processes that maintain and exacerbate psychological distress and impairment, and how these processes can be targeted through treatment with increased precision and potency. His research has specifically focused on examining the factors that are relevant to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and understanding the psychotherapeutic mechanisms of Mindfulness and Acceptance-based Behavioral Treatments in both addressing symptom reduction and enhancing quality of life. Dr. Lee has published and presented at regional, national, and international research conferences in this area of research.
