Lynn Crothers, MA, LMHCA
Psychotherapist
(she/they)
I work with adults navigating a variety of issues, including chronic pain and chronic health conditions, complex trauma, issues of abuse, dissociative conditions, relationship challenges, and family of origin concerns. I have a heart for supporting the "outsiders" of the world: people who feel misunderstood and/or who struggle to fit in. Trained in depth psychology, I am an ideal fit for anyone who is engaged in the process of self-understanding, curious about life, and seeking to be known. I believe the potential for deep healing, connection, and revitalization exists within this work.
My approach is multifaceted but rooted in relational psychoanalysis and Internal Family Systems (IFS). When appropriate, it includes trauma-informed somatic practices. I believe we are harmed in relationship but healed in it as well, and that growth is found not only in story and self-understanding, but in becoming more regulated and present to our lives. As a therapist, I am warm, compassionate, and authentic. My goal is to listen, hold space, and actively support you on your journey by asking questions, providing feedback, and, when appropriate, challenging old narratives.
My master’s in Counseling Psychology is from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, and I am on the Board of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Assocation (PPDA). I receive ongoing psychoanalytic education through the Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center in New York.
My belief is that we heal and grow ourselves in order to go out and contribute to the healing of the world. I am an antiracist, LGBTQIA+-friendly therapist on my own lifelong journey of healing, growth, and education.
I consider this sacred work, and a true privilege. I look forward to meeting.
