Getting to know Lena Trieger
Lena has experience working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, family and relationship dynamics, intimate partner violence, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. She approaches therapy by creating a warm, judgment-free environment where struggles can be shared openly and explored at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Lena works collaboratively with clients to find ways to make the weight of what they’re carrying feel lighter over time.
?
Her clinical experience is grounded in community-based settings, with a focus on supporting clients during periods of crisis. While completing her Master’s training, she worked at a domestic violence shelter and Bellevue Hospital, supporting individuals navigating stress, trauma, and life transitions. She helps clients emotionally regulate and ease pain and suffering in ways that feel stabilizing and compassionate, while also exploring how early experiences and relational histories shape current emotions and patterns to support healing and meaningful change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide psychotherapy services only and do not prescribe medication. Our first appointment is a free 15-minute call to make sure I am the right fit for you.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I understand the hesitation, so I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, intimate partner violence, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to show up as you are. Therapy doesn’t require the right words or a clear plan; it begins with having a place where your experiences can be shared openly, without judgment or pressure.
Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin moving toward your goals. If you’re interested in starting the therapeutic process together or have any questions, I welcome you to reach out.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I have experience working with people navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and loneliness—experiences that can feel heavy and isolating. Together, we can find ways to make the weight of what you're holding feel lighter over time. I provide a warm, judgment-free environment where you can openly share your struggles and we can work together in a way that feels supportive and reliable.
My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.
