Mary Beth Lee, LCSW, LSCSW
Grief, Trauma & Behavioral Health
25+ Years of Experience
I help individuals and families find their footing after grief and traumatic loss. I also partner with organizations as they respond to crisis, care for their teams, and build stronger communities. My work draws on clinical practice, neuroscience-informed training, and my own experience of loss.
Experience Rooted in Understanding
25+ Years of Experience | 16 Years at the ChildTrauma Academy | Licensed in TX, MO & KS
I partner with agencies, health systems, schools, employers, and community organizations to provide trauma-informed training, crisis response, consultation, and professional education. I believe growth happens in community, and that includes the systems people move through every day. Strengthening those systems is how we strengthen the people inside them.
Grief and traumatic loss change everything, but no two people experience them in quite the same way.
I offer individual therapy, group therapy, and coaching for young adults, adults, and families living with loss, along with education for those who want to support them. For young adults, in college or not, the death of a sibling, parent, or close friend often goes unrecognized, even as it ripples through their friends, campus, and community. Together, we make sense of what you are carrying and find a way forward. I believe we grieve, grow, and integrate loss across a lifetime, and no one should have to do that alone.
Meet Mary Beth
I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience in grief, traumatic loss, and behavioral health.
My work has taken me from clinical practice to community leadership, including a 16-year fellowship with Dr. Bruce Perry at the ChildTrauma Academy. I founded Tribe Consulting to bring organizations and nonprofits together around the interconnected challenges our communities face today.
I see loss through a lifespan lens: how we grieve, grow, and integrate over time, and how loss touches every dimension of wellness. I know this path both professionally and personally.

Understanding Grief. Supporting Integration.
When someone dies, the world of everyone who loved them shifts, and each person grieves in their own way.
Whether a loss is recent or has been carried for years, I help individuals and families understand what grief does to the mind and body, move past harmful myths, and find words for experiences that often have none.
Grief does not end; it changes shape. Through individualized support and practical tools, I help people integrate loss into a life that can still hold meaning, connection, and growth.
