Reviews on the presenter and the model
“Bonnie Lee is a rare teacher. She walks in the world of research and she is able to support her concepts with sound methodology. She then takes her findings to the realm of therapy and explores application of her ideas with critical eyes. Her multi-cultural lens provides an opportunity to see human universals and patterns with the ability to translate those observations into her work. She is articulating a process that needs articulation.”
- Stephen Buckee, Living Treasure of the Satir Global Network
"This is absolutely ground-breaking work, since gambling addiction is often a treatment for the addicted individual and not for the addicted person and the spouse. Conceptualizing the issue as relational is revolutionary. Dr. Lee is to be commended for her creativity, her scholarship and her commitment to quality research. She has significantly advanced the work of a pioneer in family therapy in bringing theory and new applications of Satir’s legacy into the 21st century."
-Sharon Loeschen, President, Virginia Satir Global Network
"I enjoy the openness of the group, the depth, the levity, the wisdom, the variety of topics in the supervision sessions. Thanks for all your kindness and generosity!"

"Attendees consistently praised your presentation skills and your ability to elucidate complex concepts with practical examples. The flow of the workshop was seamless, and the exercises we practiced were both insightful and applicable to our professional contexts.
Dr. Lee, you have an engaging demeanor that captivates participants throughout the workshop. Your calm and approachable manner created a conducive learning environment, and your willingness to share practical examples further enhanced our understanding of different Congruence Couple Therapy principles.
Furthermore, it is evident that you possess a genuine curiosity about relationships and couples. This curiosity translated into a dynamic and thought-provoking learning experience for all involved."
- Alissa Vincenti, President, Quebec Counselling Association

- Alberta Health Services Counsellor 1
