Gloria Lee, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist providing bilingual and multicultural services in biobehavioral medicine, psychological research, and mental health consultation throughout the state of California for the past decade. Dr. Lee maintains strong commitments to treating patients in their respective developmental lifestages and cultural-ecological spaces.

Dr. Lee applies her expertise by actively engaging in the professional community. She has provided psychotherapy in inpatient and outpatient settings for both public health and private sectors, has contracted with the State and City & County as a mental health specialist, and serves as a Subject Matter Expert for the California Board of Psychology.
​
Dr. Lee believes in serving the academic community of psychology and behavioral medicine as well. Currently she is serving her 7th term on the Institutional Review Board at the University of San Francisco, and is an active member of the adjunct faculty union. She is also a peer reviewer on the editorial board of the Qualitative Report, a national journal in social science research.
​
Some of Dr. Lee's favorite parts of the profession are mentoring junior clinicians and training other mental health providers in Animal Assisted Therapy with the help of her dog Maddie, a licensed Psychiatric Service Dog.
​
Maddie Bebe obtained her California Assistance Dog license in 2012. Her training spans various settings including rehabilitation centers, dialysis clinics, hospital acute care units, and outpatient community mental health clinics.
Maddie specializes in dissociative depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia. She also has an instinct for working with children who have developmental or neurocognitive disorders. Maddie takes advantage of her small stature to accommodate geriatric and rehabilitating patients, facilitating both the emotional and physical wellbeing of persons with disabilities, chronic medical conditions, or advanced age.
​
Maddie is a proud advocate and ambassador of Animal Assisted Therapy. While she can expertly model for her handler's lectures and presentations on the subject, her preference is to work individually or in small groups, preferably far away from microphone feedback and electrical noise.
