Welcome MBATT Scholar…

My name is Mari A. Lee, and I am a Senior Faculty Member, Consulting Supervisor (CS), and leading contributor for TMATT.

I provide support for diverse therapists from all around the country and the world who are moving through the MBATT training, and I am glad you are part of The Mindfulness Academy of Addiction & Trauma Training (TMAATT) community

Working toward the Mindfulness Based Addiction & Trauma Therapist Certification is a rewarding process! I commend you on your first steps toward obtaining your MBATT certification in this enriching specialization.

I enjoy supporting the MBATT scholars as they develop the confidence and skill set in understanding and applying mindfulness based practices to their clinical work and personal lives. I meet each MBATT scholar where they are in their training process - no matter if you are an associate or a seasoned clinician, I am dedicated to supporting your professional growth.

During our work together, I will help you develop a deeper understanding of the MBATT clinical model and approach as you build confidence in applying your mindfulness based skills and tools in your clinical treatment planning. I am here to support your learning!

For MBATTs who are interested in adding mindfulness group therapy, webinars, workshops or mindfulness retreats to your practice, I have many years of experience in facilitating recovery and trauma groups, webinars, workshops and retreats. As a MBATT Consulting Supervisor, I enjoy teaching candidates how to organize and facilitate both trauma and addiction recovery groups and other clinically supportive income streams. My therapy groups have been filled with a waitlist and going strong for over 14 years.

I truly enjoy supporting therapists and clinical colleagues achieve their professional goals. The feedback that I receive on my supervision style is that I am, "Supportive, knowledgeable, experienced, organized, structured, focused, creative, and responsive" - you are welcome to read more about my supervision support here.

About Mari A. Lee, LMFT, CSAT-S, CPTT-S, MBATT-S

In addition to my clinical work, writing, teaching, coaching and speaking are my professional passions. I speak nationally on the topics of betrayal trauma, complex trauma, and addiction. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with over 15 years of experience, and a trusted CSAT and CPTT Supervisor certified through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), and a faculty member with IITAP and TMAATT, as well as an ethics committee members for IITAP.

Now in my 50's, I have a wealth of clinical knowledge as well as 35+ years of business management as a former corporate executive, and design business owner. This includes marketing and networking, as well as starting and maintaining a successful fee for service private clinical practice for many years with an average clinical wait list of 3 months.

Finally, I am a trusted business coach to therapists assisting clinicians in developing multiple income streams beyond the one-on-one clinical hour - I truly enjoy this role! You can learn more about my coaching focus and style here.

I share all of this because, as part of my MBATT supervision role, I am passionate about supporting the dreams of the wonderful clinicians I am honored to work with.

I sincerely believe that each therapist can achieve their professional vision and make a great living at this important and very challenging work we do!

When I am not in my professional role I enjoy the outdoors. Hiking, swimming in the ocean, gentle yoga and dance are activities that make my heart smile. 

I also love to travel or just hang out with friends and family over dinner. Reading, writing, music and creating have been life long passions for me. Oh, and chocolate...chocolate is most definitely on the list of my top favorite things!

I am an advocate for animals and have a rescue cat named Stanley who likes to curl up next to me during my writing time - good ol’ Stan brings a lot of joy into my life.

My fee is $165 for a focused 50-minute individual supervision session and I conduct these sessions via phone (I am located in the PDT or West Coast Time Zone). We will meet via the phone at (818) 521-4370 and you will call me at your scheduled day and time. If you live out of the United States, we will meet via SKYPE, you are responsible for sending me a SKYPE invitation to my SKYPE address at: marileetherapy.

Group Supervision

I occasionally facilitate group supervisions with 2-4 candidates and am happy to slide my fee per the allotted session time for group supervision. I ask the MBATT scholars to coordinate their group. Please note that 2 candidates will have a full hour with the time split between each candidate and will be billed at $125/per candidate; a group of 3 will require 90 minutes of time split between each candidate and will be billed at $110/per candidate; a group of 4 candidates will require 120 minutes and this time will be split between each candidate and will be billed at $100/per candidate.
