Salome Valencia-Bohne (She/Her)

Tired of feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or confused about what else you can do to make life work for you? Or do you feel like you’re doing all that you can but it just doesn’t ever seem to be enough? That occasionally life can feel like it’s way too much? We believe that you are an expert in your lived experience and that sometimes it can be helpful to have another human being to talk to that won’t judge you for what you’re saying or who isn’t another item on your long list of to dos. When you partner with me your authentic and courageous self is accepted in our inner circle of community, and you are appreciated for who you are rather than what you can do for others. I work alongside you through our shared partnership of action and discussion to inspire you to fully invest in your self for a change. As a wise and highly successful person once told our community, “If you’re constantly giving your best to everyone else, in the end what’s left for you?” Connect with me and move from thinking about the bigger life you were meant to live to being the person you were meant to be. It’s just one short phone call but it can lead to so much more. I’m a Latina who uses she/her/ella pronouns. I’m a counselor in Washington State, and I virtually serve all of Washington state. My office is located in the Ballard area of Seattle where I see clients in-person. I’m in the process of earning my clinical independent license (LICSW) and so as I finish the last steps of this journey I’m supervised by Sima Kulshreshtha, MSW, LICSW, CCTS-I. My style is kind, supportive, joyful, and human. As a real human-being with thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences, I will lean in with curiosity and be an active participant in your healing journey. So what does that mean for you? It means that we are both equal in the therapy space. As you bring topics to our discussions I will attentively listen and ask questions. This is done with the intent to support you with implementing changes and increasing your understanding of yourself. I also believe in the power of laughter and so along with my geeky knowledge of psychology pop trivia I will also joke alongside you to bring growth and light to your healing.
