Why Blue Depths?

We derive our name from the parallels between the vastness of the ocean and the depths of the human psyche. Beneath the surface of every person lie layers of emotions, thoughts, and experiences as complex as the ocean’s ecosystems. Let us navigate the tranquility and turbulence of the human experience together in session.

About

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. About the Logo: The waves in our logo are traced by the outline of the Arabic word "بحر" which translates to “Ocean” in English.
