Salma Hassanieh
I am passionate about working collaboratively with a diverse population of individuals of any age or presenting concern.
As a bi-lingual (English & Arabic) woman of Middle Eastern background, I understand the challenge multiple layers of identity has on mental health. Using a culturally sensitive approach, I enjoy working with underrepresented minorities, especially those who identify with the LGBTQ+ community.
Blue Depths Counseling prides itself in using a social justice, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist lens. I also utilize multicultural trauma-informed modalities, somatic, attachment, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, and system-liberation approaches. I believe that every person is unique and I am intentional about tailoring my approach to each client to empower them.
Regardless of whether you are new to therapy or you are looking for a different approach, it takes courage to reach out for help. This is the first step toward your healing journey.
