My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.
I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.
I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.
I am a licensed counselor with a Masters in Counseling. My practice is rooted in extensive experience working with diverse populations. I offer a unique blend of evidence-based and creative approaches.I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic interventions such as Expressive Arts.
I have been working as a therapist to help clients find healing and gain understanding in themselves since 2016.
I hold a Body Acceptance Group for Women where clients work towards overcoming body shame, learn to nourish and heal their relationship with their body, and start living an empowered life.
Other areas of focus in my work are on adult family relationships, trauma, healing from sexual assault or abuse, and anxiety.
I am a licensed mental health therapist; I have experience with a diverse, complex, and co-occurring clientele with a broad age range from adolescents to older adults.
I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.
I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.
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!
Hi I'm Beck. I'm a clinical social worker who specializes in working with individuals around relationship challenges and adult attachment concerns, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and mental health during infertility and pregnancy.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.
I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.
I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals
A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.
Depression, anxiety, and trauma don't always respond to standard treatments and if you're here, there's a good chance you've tried an approach that hasn't worked. I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 14 years of clinical experience, and my practice is built specifically around patients who need more than a first-line approach. I trained at UCLA & UCSF, and before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years working in critical care which taught me to read the body's systems as interconnected, not siloed. I bring that same lens to psychiatric care with emphasis on the mind/body as one.
