mental health counseling for kids, teens, and young adults

Clients

I see clients ages 3 to 21 years old. Some issues I can support you with include: depression, anxiety, processing trauma, boosting self-esteem, and better understanding your personal identities.

therapeutic Style

I value a collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. Meeting each client with empathy, warmth, and acceptance is my goal. I use aspects of play therapy, CBT, DBT, strengths-based therapy, and mindfulness.

Location

I’m currently seeing clients in-person and online. I’m based in the Northgate neighborhood in Seattle, WA.

more about me

Hi, there! I’m Lena. I grew up in Sacramento, CA and moved to Seattle for college in 2015. I graduated from UW and received my B.A. in Psychology and Sociology in 2019. I worked in public education for a couple years, and then began my journey toward becoming a counselor. I graduated from Seattle University in June 2024 with a Master’s of Education in School Counseling. I’m passionate about helping young people with their mental health and providing them tools to feel supported, heard, and prepared in life. In my free time I love exploring Seattle’s beautiful parks, binging TV shows, singing karaoke, and watching sports!
