Getting to know Selen Saydam

Hello! My name is Selen (suh-LENN), and I have been practicing as a therapist since 2020. I hold a Master's in Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. My approach to therapy was born out of my passion for supporting and witnessing people on their journey to finding themselves. I primarily specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people struggling with numbness, anger, codependency, substance use, or low self-esteem due to trauma related to relationships, family, or adverse experiences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a polyvagal, attachment-based approach, which is clinical speak for, "I help you understand your nervous system and relationship patterns". After better understanding your goals, I will draw on a variety of skills to help you decode the language of your nervous system, build your sense of self, and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with life and others.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our initial session will help us identify your goals and develop a plan to achieve them. We will then move on to understanding your nervous system's language and identifying tools to navigate it. I prioritize creating safety by arming you with coping skills and building a strong therapeutic relationship, prior to moving into any processing of impactful memories. Together, we will embark on this journey; my mission is to empower you to flourish and weather any storm along way.
