Disorganized and usually runs late. Changes appointments times with no regard for your schedule. Instead of a counseling, it's more like conversation with a friend (not a nice one), as she talks about her personal life. When you talk about your situation, she starts telling you about hers instead. She uses shaming and bullying tactics. And she tells you what to do, as in "You need to get married.", (even though partner wasn't ready yet); and even told us when we should set the date. (This seriously happened). I went in with my husband a few times, but he went for months. He hated it and said it wasn't helping. On top of it not helping, it was stressful because she would cancel an appointment and tell him another time he would have to come, and he would feel like he had to rearrange his schedule to make her happy. (It didn't make his boss at work happy)! He kept going in saying he was going to tell her he was ending treatment and would come home miserable, saying that he couldn't tell her. I offered to call and cancel the next appointment and tell her (because I wasn't going to let her bully me), and he said yes. When I called, she was very angry with me and said that he had to come back or she couldn't "change his diagnosis". I wouldn't recommend her for anyone, but ESPECIALLY not anyone who is depressed, or can easily be taken advantage of. read more

I saw her for one session, but that was more than enough. First of all, I am hard of hearing and I told her that. I told her I normally wear hearing aids but I have lost them, so I asked her to speak up. She did speak up, for about 2 minutes, and then went back to what I perceived as whispering. It was very frustrating. She tried to uproot things in my past that I did not want to talk about. Stuff that happened years and years ago. I have no idea why she kept doing that and I had to straight up tell her to stop. I didn't make a follow up appointment. Her amount of paperwork is laughable. It's like she wants your entire life story on paper before she even considers seeing you. No therapist makes you do THAT much paperwork. I can't believe I wasted an hour of my life filling it out. I have a lot of experience in these things, but she was by far the worst I've ever had. In summation, maybe she works really well for some. But not all. Some people here have clearly enjoyed her and found her helpful, while some of us have not. Go and see for yourself. But I warn you about the paperwork. Seriously. It's ridiculous. She also makes you make the phone call to your insurance company to figure out all of the information that HER office should be figuring out. I've never had a therapist ask me to do that for her. It was very strange. read more

I recently talked to Dr Hee on the phone about a potential case. With a bit of probing, she didn't feel she was the right fit for this matter (eg - for one thing said she isn't fluent in Mandarin and that would have been helpful). She spent quite a bit of her own time on intake, yet made a referral. While I can understand some of the reviewers saying she comes off as judgmental, another perspective might be that she is clear and decisive. Based on reading some of the other reviews, I might NOT agree with every judgment or conclusion she reached but during phone intake she supported her conclusions with reasons that made sense. She also communicated some "tough love" which could appear to come from the wrong place (though I felt it came from the heart). My guess would be that she's good for people who are already pretty strong in their character and/or opinions, but too harsh and/or conclusory for others. I appreciate that she didn't end up charging for an initial consultation (which might have been longer and more expensive then a regular session), and instead provided good strategies for finding another another practitioner who might be a better fit. read more

Dr. Hee is a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable, and very resourceful provider that I have known for over a decade. She is wonderful at making that very important connection in order to establish the rapport necessary to do the work. She is adept at handling a variety of issues and administers tools that provide long lasting results. She is focus driven and excellent at getting to the core of issues. I highly recommend Dr. Hee! read more

i need to update my review: since i saw dr hee i had left the state for a job for several years before coming back to the city at a low (emotional) point in my life...i called dr hee, who remembered me well, and started seeing her regularly...she kindly pointed out my blind spots and set me on a straight path to where i really, deeply wanted to go...she was gentle at times and forceful at other times, thoughtfully explaining what i needed to know after seeing her for 6 months, i got my dream job and left the city again, but will always be grateful to her for the part she played in my life i recommend dr hee without reservation read more

Linda has helped me work through relationship and career situations with so much grace and confidence. She's especially knowledgeable and I feel like I'm in my own living room when I meet with her.

I spent a year with Dr. Hee over 13 years ago after a breakup from a long term relationship. In reading the reviews, I cannot believe that we're talking about the same person. She is thoughtful and helpful. She basically listened for a whole year without being judgmental and when needed, stepped in and gave ideas or information relevant to my situation. She was so instrumental in healing my broken heart that I had to recently seek her out to help me deal with issues stemming from my teenage daughter. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. It is true that she can seem a little disorganized at times and she does have her quirks as we all do. She is definitely old school. Yes, she sometimes makes you wait because she feels that the client she has with her needs a little more time. I've been on both ends of that stick. I've had over two hour sessions with her on a bad week and she is right there for me without even asking for more $$$. She bills the same one hour to my insurance. I have never had any problems with billing. So if I have to wait awhile because someone else is in worst shape than me, I am happy to wait it out. If you are truly in need for someone to talk to, she's your gal. read more
