Lynn Hulsman

I know the power of a strong therapeutic alliance, from both sides of the couch, and understand we all desire to be fully seen, known, and loved. Together, we will look closely at your inner life and relationship patterns with the shared goal of uncovering how past experiences affect who you are today, and why certain experiences can trigger symptoms. 

With unconditional positive regard, I hold a space where clients as co-creators feel comfortable confiding things to me that they never, or rarely, tell others. Through collaboration, my clients attain authenticity by revealing their minds and hearts to themselves.

My style is a blend of acceptance and authenticity, and I am kind, direct and engaging in my work. I believe that enhanced self-compassion, and moving away from guilt and shame is the best path towards richer relationships and enduring feelings of self-worth, and that a life of meaning, satisfaction and contentment is available to everyone.

Before entering the mental health field, I studied literature and theatre, and worked as an author, actor, creative ideation agent and stand-up comic. My creative background and lived experience inform my unique set of therapeutic skills and insight. I approach sessions with curiosity and unconditional positive regard.

A variety of therapeutic approaches inform my work, and each session is tailored to meet your specific needs, including interpersonal and  strengths-based approaches, all grounded in the compassionate curiosity.
