Jen Marino
Jen Marino, LMHCA, CCC
Psychotherapist
As a therapist, and human in general, Jen (she/they) is passionate about creating space for the stories and emotions that are so often pushed away, hidden from view, and disavowed. They believe that to be seen and heard in these tender places can be a profoundly healing experience, even (and especially) when there is "nothing to do about it," other than bear witness and grieve. For Jen, an important piece of this process is moving towards a way of being that centers less around achieving, perfecting and “doing” and much more around “being.” Being present, being messy, being perfectly imperfect and ok with slow processes and uncertainties. It is here that we may begin to build the spaciousness to hold and be in relationship with all that is unresolved in our hearts, bodies, and life stories.
Jen earned her Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in the state of Washington and a Certified Canadian Counselor (CCC). In their previous work at Seattle Counseling Service, Jen gained significant experience in the exploration and processing of traumas and concerns specific to the LGBTQ+ community, including identity exploration, gender transitioning, and experiences of discrimination and isolation.
Jen primarily works with LGBQT+ identified adolescents and adults as well as parents struggling to understand or support their LBGTQ+ identified child. They are committed to their role as a compassionate witness, entering the therapeutic process as a guide into the unknown through embodied exploration, conversation, and play.
