Meet Dr. Asheena Lee, M.D.
Board-Certified Psychiatrist & Founder of Fully Living Clinic
“You’ve been told it’s ‘just hormones’ or ‘new mom stress.’ You’ve heard ‘you’re just sensitive’ or ‘you have no reason to feel this way.’ But you know it’s deeper than that.”
Whether it is the heavy cloud of postpartum depression, the paralyzing thoughts of OCD, the profound exhaustion of infertility, or the unexpected rage of perimenopause, you deserve a physician who looks beyond the surface. You deserve a specialist who will guide you toward recovery with more than just a rushed intake—a psychiatrist who truly hears what you have to say.
Clinical Expertise with a Human Touch
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist licensed in California with a deep specialization in reproductive mental health. My training is East Coast-rooted, where I developed a foundation of clinical rigor and diagnostic excellence.
I bring that high-level expertise to my practice here in California, blending it with a warm, evidence-based approach that prioritizes the whole person.
As a specialist in Reproductive Psychiatry, I manage the complex intersections of advanced psychopharmacology and the reproductive life cycle—including pregnancy, breastfeeding, the postpartum period, and the profound identity shift of matrescence.
A Leader in the Field
My commitment to women’s mental health extends beyond the clinic. I have had the honor of serving as Co-Chair for the California Chapter of Postpartum Support International (PSI).
I have also served as community-based clinical faculty for the University of California, Riverside, teaching and mentoring the next generation of medical professionals.
My Integrative Philosophy
I believe that medication is a valuable tool, but it is rarely the whole story. I utilize a collaborative model that integrates biological, psychological, and physiological approaches:
Psychodynamic Insight
Exploring patterns and life experiences that shape current well-being through psychodynamic frameworks.
Polyvagal & Mindfulness
Addressing the nervous system directly to foster safety, regulation, and mindful connection.
CBT, DBT & ACT
Evidence-based frameworks (Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy).
Digital Therapeutics
Integrating modern technology and evidence-based software to enhance your progress between sessions.
Perinatal Training
Intensive training through PSI ensures care is informed by the most current research in the field.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication focused on the language of change.
Your Partner in Recovery
I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right psychiatrist. I take the time to listen and to design a plan that honors your values.
