LGBT therapists in Edmonds, WA

If you are looking for someone to help you sort through an issue or situation, I have been accompanying people on their personal journeys for 15 years. I believe deeply that part of how we navigate life is by being seen and heard well. Whether you are going through a transition personally or professionally, wanting some insight into a situation or feeling, and/or facing an obstacle to growth, we can work together to bring some sense of resolution to your immediate issue. As Therapist (I am also a Certified Life Coach), I work in Shorter Term Solution Focused ways to accompany you in the next step of being your best Self. I have MA in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and a BA in Psychology from Wheaton College. I am also a Certified Life Coach.

I've had the privilege of exploring three distinct careers—first as an opera singer, then in marketing—but it was discovering Social Work that truly aligned with my passion and purpose. After earning my Master’s in Social Work from NYU, I worked in psychiatric emergency rooms before launching my therapy practice in 2020. I specialize in blending Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients uncover internal blocks and move toward lives filled with meaning, vitality, and self-compassion.

Sometimes personal tragedy strikes and you need to talk. Often systemic oppression and microaggressions can cause depression, anxiety and PTSD. I believe that hope is an endurant quality that gets us through the hardest parts of our life. Counseling is about restoring hope and advocacy within the context of an apathetic society. I teach self advocacy skills and boundary setting. My overall approach is compassion focused. I believe that clients know what is in their best interest and I hope to assist you in reaching your goals. I am a Queer Transgender guy. To me, knowledge and insight are the keys to personal freedom. In my free time I enjoy reading and walks. I find personal healing in my connection to other people and to nature.

Hello! I'm Lauren Salerno (she/her), a licensed mental health therapist in Washington! I am also trained in art therapy, and love to incorporate creativity into my work with people. My typical client is neurodivergent, creative, and looking for healthy coping skills to learn when to adapt and when to advocate for themselves. I work with adults 18+ and sometimes with groups. Nice to meet you!

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.
