Dr. Chee is a native of Queens, New York, but has been in Texas for over 20 years.  He earned his Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) at Alliant International University where his research focused on the school-to-prison comparisons between urban and rural youths (especially in rural Appalachia). He completed his predoctoral internship in Kentucky's Appalachian region, where he was the chief psychological provider at The Kentucky Department of Corrections, Southeast State Correctional Complex. There, he treated inmates for a variety of conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to pervasive personality disorders. He gained ample experience working with the prison's transgender population and continues to work with the trans community (as well as the LGBTQIA+ community) in his local private practice.
