Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerecia Lee.
Hi Jerecia, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In 2023, I found myself in a work environment that no longer aligned with who I was or who I was becoming. It was unhealthy, stifling, and ultimately it was made clear that I was no longer valued. What started as confusion and frustration quickly became a divine invitation for growth. As I sought clarity and began my own healing journey, God made it clear—it was time to build something new. It was time to start my own private practice.
I didn’t have all the answers. In fact, I had more questions than anything else. But I trusted the vision and leaned on the wisdom of colleagues who were already walking the path I was just beginning. With their guidance and God’s direction, the pieces began to fall into place. That vision became reality when Journey with J.Lee Consulting, LLC (Journey with J.Lee) was born.
The mission was—and still is: to walk alongside others on their healing journeys by offering culturally astute, evidence-based therapeutic services, professional development training, and transformational workshops. What began as an idea rooted in pain has evolved into a platform for purpose.
By January 2024, Journey with J.Lee officially launched full-time virtual mental health counseling services for adults in Virginia and Georgia. And in the summer of that same year, we hosted our very first event—the Black Therapist Brunch. This powerful gathering was intentionally created for Black licensed mental health professionals to connect, fellowship, and most importantly, to be seen, heard, and restored.
Today, Journey with J.Lee provides virtual counseling services to adults across Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina. We also partner with organizations and corporations to lead impactful wellness workshops and mental health seminars that foster growth, resilience, and belonging.
This journey has been anything but easy, but it has been worth it. What started as a leap of faith during a season of uncertainty has grown into a calling that continues to expand and serve. Journey with J.Lee is not just a business—it’s a movement toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Since making the transition, the road has been mostly smooth—but like any meaningful journey, it hasn’t been without its curves and hills. I’ve had to navigate the ongoing learning curve of running a business while also striving to maintain balance in my personal life. There are days when it feels like I’m juggling more than I can carry, but I’m constantly reminded that I’m not doing it alone.
Staying grounded in my faith and obedient to God’s has been my anchor. It’s what continues to sustain me when the load feels heavy and the path unclear. Through it all, I’ve learned that success isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about trusting the one who called you, staying the course, and moving forward with purpose, even when the terrain gets tough.
We’ve been impressed with Journey with J.Lee Consulting LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Journey with J.Lee Consulting, LLC, our mission is more than just a statement—it’s a calling. We are committed to walking alongside others on their healing journeys by offering culturally astute, evidence-based therapeutic services, professional development training, and transformational workshops.
Our primary focus is providing virtual mental health counseling services—both individual and couples therapy—to adults between the ages of 25 and 45 in Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. Many of our clients come to us experiencing relationship distress—whether it’s with themselves, a romantic partner, family members, friendships, or even in the workplace. We understand that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in the context of relationships, and our goal is to help our clients rebuild, reconnect, and rediscover themselves.
People choose Journey with J.Lee because of our unwavering commitment to offering personalized, expert-driven, and supportive counseling experiences. We empower our clients to face life’s challenges, grow with intention, and improve their emotional well-being.
Beyond individual care, we also collaborate with organizations that recognize the importance of mental health in cultivating a thriving workplace culture. Our mental health professional development training and workshops are designed to be holistic, engaging, and actionable. We don’t just deliver content—we create experiences that foster authentic appreciation, enhance support systems, and strengthen team cohesion. The result? Higher morale, greater engagement, and lasting loyalty.
Some of our signature workshop topics include:
From Stuck to Unstoppable: A Mindset Shift
Balancing Act: Preventing Burnout in Your Professional Life
Navigating Life Storms: Essential Mental Health Tools
And while our work spans across communities and organizations, one of our most cherished annual events is the Black Therapist Brunch. This powerful, invitation-only gathering is thoughtfully designed for Black licensed mental health professionals. It offers a sacred space to connect, recharge, and be deeply seen and heard. It’s not just an event—it’s a celebration of identity, resilience, and community.
At the heart of everything we do is a core value that guides our approach:
“To support you effectively on your journey, I strive to be open and receptive to understanding your values, beliefs, behaviors, and customs.”
This is not just a philosophy—it’s a promise. One that ensures every person we serve feels respected, supported, and truly understood.
Journey with J.Lee is more than therapy. It’s a movement—toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
Journey with J.Lee is currently accepting bookings for speaking engagements, professional development workshops, and customized trainings for events and organizations. Whether you’re planning a corporate wellness day, leadership retreat, conference, or employee training, we offer engaging, transformative sessions that leave lasting impact.
Let’s work together to create an experience that empowers, educates, and inspires.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Trust God.
Pray intentionally.
Listen for the right now step—then take it.
Don’t wait for the full picture to be clear. Just move.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you, support you, and lovingly hold you accountable. Find those who will not just cheer you on but will problem-solve with you when the road gets tough.
Because when God calls you to transition, He’s already made a way. You just have to be willing to walk it.
