K. Slater Lin, EdM, LMHC, NCC (they/them)
Hello and welcome! My name is Slater, and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and graduated from Seattle University in 2019. I am passionate in working alongside individuals from an intersectional approach that brings the awareness of oppressive structures and how they have pathologized people (ableism, classism, capitalism, racism, etc.). How do these structures impact you? How have they led you to internalize negative narratives about yourself? What areas of pain and "otherness" do you hold within yourself? Through my own work, experiences, and identities, I hope to provide a space that holds a balance of loving empathy, vulnerability, and directness to create a healing environment for you. Along with supporting clients, I am also a WA state approved supervisor, and provide licensing supervision as well as consultation. Before attending Seattle University, I spent several years working with older adults in supportive housing and case management. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington in Seattle, with a major in Psychology in 2014. Prior to starting a private practice, I was a clinician and assistant director at Whole Valley Therapy which focused on supporting individuals and families within the LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Before that, I worked for Sound Mental Health supporting adult clients with developmental and intellectual disabilities with co-occurring disorders. I have focused my clinical work on helping individuals navigate various aspects and intersections of identity including ethnicity, ability, age, gender and sexuality I am a biracial individual, being half Taiwanese and half white, as well as identify as an agender, queer, chronically ill, neurodivergent individual. I have lived in Washington state my whole life, and enjoy hiking, playing videogames, listening to political rock/metal, spending time with my 2 dogs and cat, and always love a good potluck containing delicious food, games, and community! My special interests are always changing (yay neurodivergence!) and greatly appreciate learning new things from others. I enjoy bringing humor/playfulness, love, compassion, and energy into all spaces of my life.
