About
I believe that healing is possible no matter how hard your life experiences have been, and I’m honored to serve you on that journey.
I am a Mental Health Counselor seeking licensure with 8 years of experience providing trauma-informed support to adolescent and adult clients. I have a background in holistic healing modalities that address all aspects of wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I feel honored to work with clients who dare to explore themselves and embrace vulnerability as they move toward healing, balance, and emotional well-being.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. I use trauma-informed approaches that honor each client’s unique needs, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, person-centered talk therapy, psychodynamic techniques, strengths-based parts work, somatic therapy, and mindfulness.
I believe each of us has the inner wisdom and strength to create meaningful change, but sometimes it takes the right guide and tools to get there. My goal is to walk beside you with compassion and understanding as you rediscover your resilience, heal from within, and move toward a life of greater peace and fulfillment.

As a former member of a special operations military unit, I understand and can empathize with directly- and indirectly-related issues.
Lee Walker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and a former member of a military Special Operations unit with 45 years of experience in mental health/addictions treatment. He is very concerned regarding the impact of trauma (frequently underrated) and the disease course of addictions (also frequently underrated). He is optimistic that significant life improvement is possible for his clients, and is committed to working with them to see that potential. Leon’s specialties are PTDS, trauma, and addictions.
Lee earned his Bachelor's in Abnormal Psychology at Clark University and Master's at Assumption University. His military background exposed him to a wide range of life circumstances and difficulties that impact people—many of whom have given up hope. Lee teaches his clients to use rational emotive therapy and reality therapy to manage symptoms on their own.
Lee believes that all clients have the potential to conduct self-therapy so they have clinical tools and interventions at all times.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Worcester, MA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Worcester is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
If you’re interested in working with a psychologist, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Worcester Counseling. We have psychologists on staff that want to work with you and join you on your mental health journey. These professionals are here to get to know you, to listen to your needs, and to provide you with a safe space for working through your unique challenges. To get started with a Thriveworks Counseling in Worcester psychologist, just call our office. We’ll set you up with a psychologist right away.
There are many mental health services provided by the professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Worcester.

That said, the following mental health services are often beneficial in helping people live better:
This is a small list, compared to the many services that we can offer our clients at Thriveworks Worcester. Depending on what you’re experiencing, one of the above services (or a combination of the above) might help you overcome your challenges and live better. Or, another service that is not included on this list might prove beneficial. Again, your Thriveworks in Worcester psychologist will work to determine what might best benefit you, be it counseling, medication, a new self-care routine, or a combination of the three.
