How do I know if Lisa Chen & Associates is the right fit for me?

We offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It's a chance to get to know us, understand our approach, and see if we align with your needs. The purpose of an initial consultation is to determine if you are a good fit for working together. You can expect a 15-20 minute conversation where you will have the opportunity to share your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and get a sense of the therapist's approach and personality.

Our fees range from $180 to $350 per 50-minute session based on the clinician's experience, specialized training, and services provided. Lisa Chen's fees are $350 per 50-minute session for both individual and couples counseling. Licensed Client Session fees are $200 for individual and $225 for couples counseling per 50-minute session. Associate Clinician fees are $180 for individual and $200 for couples counseling per 50-minute session. We also reserve spots for clients requesting a sliding-scale rate to accommodate financial needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Lisa Chen & Associates are out-of-network providers. We provide monthly insurance statements ('Superbills') for you to seek partial reimbursement from your insurance company according to your policy. For questions about your out-of-network benefits, please contact your insurance carrier before scheduling.

What is your cancellation policy?

Weekly clients are allowed 3 free cancellations every 6 months, and bi-weekly clients are allowed 2 free cancellations every 6 months, beginning from the date of your first session. You will be responsible for payment for your normally scheduled session time for all cancelled appointments beyond this. Please provide at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations. You may always choose to reschedule and/or take sessions virtually to accommodate occasional scheduling conflicts.

How often should I expect to meet?

We recommend weekly therapy sessions for optimal progress. However, there are times when clients prefer to meet twice a week for more complex challenges. During your initial phone consultation, let us know if you are interested in more frequent sessions.

Are you offering in-person sessions?

Yes, we are seeing clients in our South Bay office located at 2615 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 326, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. We also offer telehealth sessions for California residents.

How do I get started with counseling?

The first step is to schedule an initial consultation by calling our office or submitting the contact form on our website. This allows us to understand your needs and match you with the best therapist for your situation. From there, we'll work with you to schedule ongoing sessions.

Get to Know Your Therapist, Kana Lee | Lisa Chen & Associates Therapy

Meet Kana Lee, AMFT (150090) APCC (17882)

Hello, I’m Kana. Therapy is an artistic and collaborative process—one that honors your unique story while inviting curiosity about what lies beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or the pressures of high achievement, I offer a space where you can explore, uncover, and create meaning from your experiences.

With a background spanning psychology, marketing, and leadership, I bring a deep understanding of human connection, resilience, and transformation. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in venture capital and corporate leadership, where I supported executives, built communities, and amplified diverse voices. I also served as a startup advisor, helping founders cultivate emotional intelligence and internal culture while scaling their businesses. These experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of the unique pressures high-performing individuals face—both professionally and personally.

My journey into therapy was inspired by a lifelong curiosity about the conscious and unconscious forces shaping our lives. I’m particularly attuned to those seeking clarity and self-awareness in the midst of major transitions—whether it’s career shifts, personal identity exploration, or the prenatal and postnatal journey. In our work together, we’ll approach these moments with a blend of curiosity, depth, and reflection, allowing space for both the discomfort and the discoveries that arise.

Outside of therapy, I’m a former hip-hop dancer, a lover of storytelling, and someone who has spent years immersed in different cultures—I bring this same openness and curiosity into the therapy room, where I hope to support you in feeling seen, heard, and understood.

Kana provides individual, couples, and group therapy via in-person and telehealth or online for California. AMFT #150090 APCC #17882

Kana’s Approach

I take a multicultural, integrative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your needs while drawing from psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic traditions. Therapy is not about finding quick fixes but about deepening self-awareness, challenging old patterns, and uncovering new ways of being.

I work with high-achieving individuals, creatives, and those undergoing major life shifts. Whether you’re grappling with stress, searching for purpose, or navigating relationship challenges, my role is to help you cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and personal clarity. Our work together is an invitation—to develop, to dive deep, and to discover what lies within.

I believe therapy is a co-created space where we explore your past, understand how it shapes your present, and build a path toward a more fulfilling future. I welcome clients from all walks of life and provide an affirming, inclusive space where you can bring your full self—however you are.

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I offer free consultations to ensure we’re a good fit. I look forward to walking alongside you in this journey.
