Compassionate, Personalized Mental Health Care

Kristen Lee MD, UCLA Trained Psychiatrist

Welcome

I’m Dr. Kristen Lee, a UCLA-trained psychiatrist based in Santa Monica. I provide evidence-based, personalized mental health care that integrates therapy, medication management, and holistic support. My goal is to help you move toward stability, resilience, and a renewed sense of balance.

My Experience

Alongside private practice, I have worked in Partial Hospitalization Programs/Intensive Outpatient Programs (PHP/IOP), and street psychiatry, caring for individuals across different levels of severity. These experiences allow me to provide nuanced, flexible treatment that meets you where you are—whether you’re seeking ongoing support or navigating an acute crisis.

Treated Conditions

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders

  • Depression and mood disorders

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Schizophrenia and psychosis

  • OCD and ADHD

  • Trauma, grief, and loss

  • Reproductive psychiatry and perinatal mental health

Care Options

  • In-office appointments in Santa Monica

  • Telehealth sessions across California

  • In-home or concierge care upon request

  • Outdoor sessions in natural settings (ecotherapy) when appropriate
