Lynn Fitz-Hugh, MS, LMHC (206) 713-0497
1424 NE 155th Street, Suite 204, Shoreline WA, 98155-7104
Niche Specialty©: Couple counseling --especially multicultural couples.
Location: Lake City near Shoreline
General areas of practice: I help individual adults and couples to live significantly improved
lives through effective therapy. Career Issues, victims of domestic violence,
caregiver issues for clients with aging parents, anxiety, depression or post
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My counseling draws upon methodologies of: Gestalt, object
relations, EMDR (a powerful tool that can resolve trauma, phobias and anxiety and
significantly shorten therapy), Brainspotting, and Re-Evaluation Counseling. My approach is
based upon the belief that we are all born with a full range of possibilities and
strengths, but along the way various events, injuries and 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 cloud how we see and respond to our partner and lead to
frustrating and unsatisfying relationship interactions--including sexual
interactions. I work to help couples understand the patterns, remove obstacles to
closeness, achieve better communication and use this experience to heal old wounds
and strengthen the relationship. In working with couples I draw upon the work of Harville Hendrix, John Gottman and David Snarch.
