about

“Nothing I do is separate from others, all of it is a conversation.”

Rythea Lee is a professional dancer and multi-disciplinary artist giving voice to personal and shared stories of healing. As a performer and director, she produces performances that balance intensity with humor, highly physical dance with spoken word, and social commentary with personal story.  Her music is a central part of her most recent show and is featured on her CD, Something Knows You.

Rythea Lee is a counselor with a private practice in Northampton, MA and also counsels people all over the country through phone sessions. She is a trauma specialist, has her Masters in Spiritual Psychology and is certified as an InnerBonding® counselor. Her book,”Trauma into Truth: Gutsy Healing and Why It’s Worth It” includes original artwork and is a resource for those on the healing path.

Rythea Lee has a great passion for teaching and assisting others to become more creative, expressive, emotionally intelligent, and connected to life. She is currently teaching courses on Peer Counseling, a practice of peer to peer emotional support.

Her newest project is the making of a 20-Episode youtube advice show that can be described as interactive healing through humor called Advice From a Loving Bitch. Rythea just released the Advice from a Loving Bitch Curriculum for individuals and groups who need a manual to go with the free video content. 

Rythea has co-facilitated Healing Self-Hatred Support Groups with Divinah Erving for the past 3 years. They are 10-week therapeutic groups that use the Advice from a Loving Bitch Curriculum to take people through a deep process of dismantling the self-hating voices that torment our lives. The group helps participants develop and strengthen a Loving Adult aspect of self that can take over the self-harming voices of our past. The group support is a huge part of why this process is effective. Check out the www.rythea.com/teaching page to find out about the next group.

Rythea has a Patreon art group that you can join if you want monthly sharings of her recent writings, songs, articles, or photos, for as little as $3 a month. Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/rythealee

Rythea’s blog, Gutsy Healing: Reflections on Motherhood, Art, and Consciousness is another way to be connected with Rythea through her writing, more personal videos and photos, and links to articles on Inner Bonding®, Peer Counseling, and other materials on healing.

Rythea is a non-coercive, unschooling/homeschooling Mom to a 10 year old. This path is way off the mainstream one of authoritarian parenting and education. Scroll down on this page for more info and links this journey.



 

 

Non-Coercive Parenting:

For Parents: I am an unschooling/homeschooling Mom who practices non-coercive parenting. This is a big part of my path; to foster my daughter’s autonomy, creativity, and learning while guiding her from a non-authoritarian perspective. This is hard work that requires me (as the parent) to educate myself deeply on the repercussions of authoritarian parenting and the options that are possible if I do something other than that. It turns out, there is a wild, somewhat uncharted world of alternatives to mainstream parenting and schooling that bring profound closeness, play, collaboration, and joy to parenting. It has changed my family’s and my life for the better every day.

Here is a podcast I was on recently talking about parenting and how it relates to healing self-hatred:
