Lee Mitchell

Lee Mitchell is Vice President of Handel Group™ Life Coaching. Originally from Santa Monica, CA, Lee holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and has extensive experience as a therapist, coach and leader. Before joining the HG team, she counseled adults and children in a wide variety of settings and formats, including families, couples, groups and individuals, for nine years. Within that context, Lee also led local community programs for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed youth and served as a mental health consultant to the Department of Social Services. She has been coaching with the Handel Group™ since 2007 and became a Senior Coach in 2009.
Lee credits the goal-oriented, hands-on approach of The Handel Method® as what led her to supplement her therapy background and train as a Handel Group™ Life Coach. “I love how efficient and effective The Handel Method® is. The results are tangible and show up fast.” While she points out that the methods are quite different and she does not act as therapist in her work as an HG Coach, she does use some of the same skills. Lee brings to her work an insightful, thoughtful, straightforward and genuine approach, and facilitates remarkable and lasting change in her clients.
Lee loves working with people and is touched and honored by those who are willing to share their lives with her. She currently resides in Charlottesville, VA with her husband, son and daughter.

“Lee has been a caring, intelligent and highly effective coach for me since I started with her in December of 2008. I first participated in a group coaching seminar on romantic relationships where I came out with powerful tools that I will be able to use for the rest of my life. I have continued on with Lee as a private coaching client where she continues to help me improve and create in all areas of my life from my professional relationships to the relationship with my family to helping to build and create my dream career. I can’t thank you enough Lee!”

“Working with Lee has been AWESOME! I have learned so much about myself, people and relationships. You have this very special ability to get to the bottom line of something without sugar coating, yet saying it in a way that makes perfect sense and isn’t offensive. I often think about random comments you made that have such a strong impact and fully resonate with me. It’s like our session has a ripple effect that I carry with me through out my life. That is what has helped me to change my behaviors and move towards my goals and dreams. I feel like you care so deeply about me and my well being – I always feel so safe telling you things as I know that you won’t judge me and will only be trying to help me to make things better. That’s why I look forward to our sessions – I know you are going to say something or ask me something that will help to clear things up and help me make sense of the situation I am in.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You Rock!!!!”
