Introduction

Austin Lee is a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) and Provisional Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (PLMFT) with the State of Louisiana. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministries with an Emphasis in Missions & Major in Psychology Counseling from Midwestern Baptist College in Kansas City, MO graduating in 2017. Shortly after graduating, he then spent 2 years working with missionaries in Uganda, teaching pastors hermeneutics, about mental health and how it affects their spirituality through social programs, seminars, personal and professional engagement, and using holistically aware language when teaching on other topics. During his time in Uganda, he was on a team collaborating with a social worker and a psychology PhD. Through his previous work volunteering with youth groups, the mentorship of mental health workers, and after seeing the effects of COVID, he saw a need for more mental health workers and began pursuing his master’s degree in counseling with a Specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, graduating in May 2024.
