Hi, my name is Lina. I am a queer, latine(x), white, femme therapist offering support in the greater Seattle area. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and attachment challenges, especially folks who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with a wide range of clients from children with FASD, young adults working through childhood trauma, and teenagers coming out as trans. Each one of us has a unique set of needs, so I am here to meet you where you are and walk with you at your pace.
My training has taught me that our traumas show up and play out in everyday aspects of our lives; therefore, my approach is relationship centered and client focused. The therapy we would do together is rooted in social justice values, psychodynamic relational theory, and somatic healing.
Finding the right therapist isn't just about finding someone with credentials, its about building a therapeutic relationship with someone you trust to support you when you most need it and who can celebrate your victories without dismissing your pain. If you want to see if we might be a good fit, email me to set up a free 15 minute consultation.
