I have been a clinical social worker for 15 years supporting clients in jails, courtrooms, hospitals, primary care clinics and emergency rooms. The breadth of my practice has shown me that people want to experience peace, feel self-worth, and have meaningful connections. These desires are not unique but are the bricks that pave the pathway to healing and connecting with our best selves. Navigating the healing journey to true self-discovery is unique to each person. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and based on the fundamental belief that through empathic listening, authenticity, empowerment, and mindful insight we can move towards healing and a sense of fulfillment. I draw from a cognitive behavioral approach utilizing mindfulness and acceptance skills to address symptom management and treatment goals. I emphasize the development of self-awareness to facilitate cognitive change, identify self-defeating behaviors, and regulate emotions. My goal is to act as a facilitator for my clients to explore their own inward freedom, to accept yourself, and to understand your own experiences and welcome compassionate curiosity about your feelings. Our time together will be collaborative and unique to your individual needs. I understand connecting with a counselor can possibly feel overwhelming and uncomfortable. I am here to help and hold space without judgment. I look forward to exploring with you and holding the light on your path to healing.
Therapy works best when clients feel truly seen and supported. Our approach is relational, compassionate, and evidence-based, meaning we focus on authentic human connection while grounding our work in clinically proven methods. We meet each client where they are. Our therapists provide care that honors each person’s identity, lived experience, and cultural background — especially for those in the LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, and marginalized communities. We understand that mental health challenges don’t exist in isolation; they’re shaped by systems, relationships, and life experiences. Our clinicians use a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational interviewing, tailored to each client’s goals. We emphasize collaboration — clients are the experts in their own lives, and therapy is a partnership. We also believe accessibility is a form of care. HTNW offers telehealth and in-person sessions, same-day appointments when possible, and works with Oregon Health Plan (OHP), Tricare, and commercial insurance to reduce barriers to getting help. Above all, we strive to create a safe, affirming, and healing environment — one where clients can explore, grow, and rebuild trust in themselves and others.
Any time we are faced with the need for more support, whether physical or emotional, it can feel like weakness, or something is inherently wrong with you. There are so many messages in our families and culture that we are to strive for greatness, and that an ailment means failure. This can really impact feelings of loneliness and shame. You're not alone in this. More people than you know struggle and need this support. It's also important to know that the distress you feel is real. This is not made up and needs adequate care - which is what brings you here. As a counselor, one of my first priorities is to create a reliable, open space where you can share your strengths, values, hurts, and much more. Listening to your experience and connecting within our therapeutic relationship is foundational. While the space is yours to talk about whatever it is you want to bring, you are also not talking to a blank wall. I do ask clarifying questions and engage about what I'm hearing from you. The hope is that listening and reflecting together will generate decision-making, identify creative solutions in places you might feel stuck, and further healing.
I take a whole-person approach to counseling, supporting you in building a life that truly feels like yours. Together, we’ll explore what’s working well and what isn’t, and find ways to shift things so your daily life aligns more with your values and goals. I’ll encourage you to notice your thoughts, reflect on relationships or patterns that may no longer serve you, and approach yourself with curiosity instead of shame. If you’re coming in with a history of trauma, I’ll help you process and integrate those experiences in a way that eases pain and fosters healing. My style is person-centered, meaning our work is tailored to you, and I often bring in mindfulness and approaches that help shift unhelpful thought patterns. Curiosity, awareness, and intuition guide the process, and I’ll invite you to lean into those same qualities as part of your own healing journey. All sessions are via telehealth, video conferencing.
I specialize in helping families, adolescents, and men deal more effectively with difficulties in their important relationships, as well as with major life transitions, identity issues, emotional struggles, and personal growth needs. I work particularly well with men and women seeking growth and support in the following areas: Anger, Assertiveness, and Productive Conflict; Balancing Emotional Intimacy with Healthy Boundaries; Integrity, Self-Esteem and Empowerment; Health and Fitness Lifestyles; and Mindfulness and Buddhist Psychotherapy. I am intimately familiar with navigating the terrain of close relationships, and fostering personal growth and transformation. I am skilled at helping people feel supported and at ease enough to express their most authentic selves. This process helps heal loneliness as it leads to needed changes, and my approach is warm, interactive, compassionately direct, holistic, and grounded in my experience of what actually works.
What if you could make your life the way you want it to be? Would you like to overcome loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, fear of failure, hopelessness, relationship difficulties? Many times our discontent in the present is tethered to traumatic events in our past. If you suffered trauma as a child or as an adult, chances are you have adapted and survived but you may not be currently thriving. The deeper the wounding, the more profound the negative impacts can be in your present life. The miracle of therapy offers you the power to rewrite your past and reprogram your future. My passion is to help you recover and thrive in key areas of your life, including personal growth, work goals, and relationships. I practice an integrative approach that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. We will work collaboratively in a safe and supportive environment to heal past wounds and lay a new foundation for a better future. No matter what you have been through or where you are at now, I can help you find a way forward. You don't have to settle for less or remain stuck in your destructive patterns. Call me now for a free consultation and we can discuss the challenges you are currently facing and plan a path forward.

Therapy with me provides a space to explore and challenge these patterns, reconnect with your emotions in a way that feels authentic, and develop tools to navigate life with greater clarity and fulfillment. If you’re ready to do this work, I’m here to help. In therapy, you can expect me to: Be honest but never judgmental; Keep you focused on your goals; Provide new ways of looking at things; Be curious about you, your life, motivations, and desires; and offer practical and realistic suggestions.
I am a psychotherapist in the Ballard area and work primarily with adults in individual therapy. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and my approach is based on relational therapy and attachment-based, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed theories. My aim as a therapist is to help you come to the realization of being accepted as you are—fully, without judgment or restriction—and to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Maybe you’ve noticed old relational patterns, shaped in childhood, repeating in your adult life, leaving you feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck. You may want healing from wounds formed in past relationships and a new way of relating to yourself and others. You want to feel more genuine, confident, and free to live the life you truly desire. If our wounds are formed in relationships, they can be healed within them. Together, we’ll explore your story with compassion, uncover patterns, and begin healing what has kept you from the life you want. I provide in-person sessions and telehealth (when appropriate).
I am a telehealth therapist and see people in New Jersey, Washington, and Maryland States either via video or phone sessions. My clients explore many facets of their lives with me, including their feelings of anxiety and depression. I also walk alongside people who are navigating their racial identity. Others are in a space of transition in their career paths and personal relationships. Finally, I specialize in working with people grieving a loss in their lives. No matter what your struggles are, my capacity to sit in difficult spaces with myself is the cornerstone of the work I do with those who engage with me in therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe space to find healing through meaningful presence and attunement with another person. I seek to walk alongside you as you gain an understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your path in our world. I seek to hold a compassionate, expansive and open stance as I walk alongside you. I believe as we come to understand and heal our own personal narratives, we have the opportunity to see our changes ripple out into society as we wholly embrace the freedom of interacting out of our true selves.
You’ve probably spent years trying to be who others needed you to be. The good daughter, the fixer, the one who never made things harder. You might be exhausted from carrying emotional weight in silence, struggling with your relationship to faith, or wondering why you keep repeating patterns that leave you feeling small, anxious, or invisible. I’m Lujane, and I work with people like you—folks healing from power dynamics, shame, fractured family roles, or culturally complex expectations. I became a therapist not to “fix” people, but because healing became my way of life. Long before I had a license, I was in the work: unlearning perfectionism, facing my own trauma, and learning to live with emotional truth. Our work together won’t be about perfection—it will be about presence. In therapy, I show up exactly as I am. I don’t offer tools I wouldn’t use myself. I don’t ask you to mask, perform, or be polished. My clients often tell me it’s the first time they’ve felt fully seen, especially as Muslims, first-gens, queer folks, or recovering people-pleasers. We’ll talk about what it means to live with integrity, to feel without apology, and to build relationships that don’t drain you. I draw from trauma-informed relational therapy, internal family systems work, shame resilience, and play-based healing, because therapy can be both practical and sacred. If you’re looking for a therapist who honors faith, emotion, and authenticity, not just theory, I’m here. You deserve a space where you don’t have to impress anyone. Let’s build that together.
There are a number of reasons people choose to seek out therapy: grief and loss, an unexpected crisis, or a difficult life transition just to name a few. Whatever your reason for seeking out therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for you to gain a fresh perspective, explore paths out of "stuckness," and build hope that change is possible. My approach involves providing support and challenging individuals and families to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behavior to make lasting, meaningful changes. I have additional training in Medical Family Therapy and am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the complex road of chronic and acute physical health conditions.
