As a relational psychotherapist, I draw upon a psychodynamic perspective and the concept of establishing a secure and safe environment to help one discover one's greatest fears and deepest desires.

My areas of focus include relational struggles, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, grief/loss and spiritual formation.

Lynn Fitz-Hugh  MS, LMHC  (206) 713-0497
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
1424 NE 155th Street, Suite 204, Shoreline, WA 98155-7104
Niche Specialty©: Couple or Marriage Counselor. I have training in Imago couples counseling (the Harville Hendricks approach), and I have years of experience working with multicultural couples. When working with multicultural couples we focus on the problems the couples presents as in "regular" couples counseling. But I also help the couples understand where they approach things differently and think about things differently based upon the cultural values they were raised with. I try to help couples step out of making each other "wrong" about these differences and help them understand each others cultural frame more deeply and figure out how they will build a bridge across their two cultures. I unfortunatley only do counseling in English.
Location: Shoreline near Seattle
General Practice Area: I help individual adults and couples to reclaim their true lives through effective therapy. Career Issues, victims of d.v., caregiver issues for clients with aging parents, anxiety, depression or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My counseling Methods draw on: Gestalt, object relations, EMDR (a powerful tool that can resolve trauma, phobias,& anxiety & significantly shorten therapy), Brainspotting, & Internal Family Systems. My approach is based upon the belief that we are all born with a full range of possibilities & strengths, but along the way various events, injuries & hurts have accumulated. We have formed patterns or responses that served us in the past, but now in, the present, hold us back or keep us stuck. I will help you identify the connection between current experiences, old injuries and to release yourself from the old patterned response. In couples counseling and marriage counseling these old feeling patterns may interfere with closeness and communication. [ Email Lynn Fitz-Hugh ]
