I primarily work with adults and older teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, a difficult season, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My style is warm, relaxed, down to earth, compassionate, and collaborative. I want to understand your experiences and help you better understand yourself.

One of the things I value most about therapy is helping people recognize habits and patterns that may have served a purpose at one point in their lives but are no longer serving them. Together, we can explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, identify what you want to change, and develop healthier ways of moving forward.

My hope is that therapy becomes a space where you feel heard, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and leave feeling more confident in your ability to navigate life and create meaningful change.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical-Counseling Psychology and have more than 20 years of experience working with individuals through a variety of life challenges. I also have training in trauma-focused interventions and enjoy helping clients explore how past experiences may continue to influence the way they think, feel, cope, and relate to others.

As a military daughter, sister, and granddaughter, I have experienced firsthand the unique challenges that come with military life. My family was stationed at Fort Stewart before we settled in Statesboro. I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in Child Psychology at Kaplan University and earned my Master's in Counseling from Wake Forest University. Since 2016, I have dedicated my career to working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I achieved my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in 2021. 

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. 

I love working with clients that struggle with finding solutions or are seeking coping skills to manage parts of their lives that are difficult. I value the importance of family and community, and I bring these values into my practice. I believe in the power of connection and the strength that comes from supportive relationships.

Hi there, I’m Lee Nester—a licensed psychoeducational specialist (LPES) with over 15 years of experience as a school psychologist. I earned my B.S. in Psychology from the College of Charleston and my M.A. in Psychology and Ed.S. in School Psychology from The Citadel Graduate College, in Charleston, SC.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with students of all ages across a wide range of learning profiles and needs—including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. I’m passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves: what makes them thrive, where they may face challenges, and how they can build on their strengths to advocate for their needs and reach their potential.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for connecting with people. Whether I’m conducting assessments, consulting with families, or supporting educational planning, I aim to create a space that’s collaborative, encouraging, and rooted in each person’s unique story.
