Nina Lupo

Nina Lupo is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Washington with more than 25 years of clinical experience. Over the course of her career she has worked with adults, families, couples, adolescents, and children across nonprofit organizations, private practice, and educational settings.

Her professional roles have included counselor, therapist, case manager, advocate, consultant, and supervisor. In her current work she focuses on supporting adults, families, and young adults as they find their way forward, helping people realize their potential, address fears and trauma, and locate a sense of calm amid life’s challenges.

Nina completed undergraduate studies in Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle and contributed to Dr. John Gottman’s marital therapy research project during that time. She earned her graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University in California, with an emphasis on marriage, family, and child therapy.

Clinically she is direct yet compassionate and thoughtful, and she most often uses a person-centered, solution-focused approach. Nina views therapy as a collaborative process and believes people already carry many of the resources needed for healing. Her role is to help clients access those strengths and to offer tools that support continued growth.

She is prepared to invest in longer-term work when needed, provide targeted strategies for specific concerns, or offer guidance and a listening presence during crises. Nina acknowledges the widespread stress of recent years and recognizes that many people are coping with shared, collective experiences of trauma. She looks forward to meeting new clients and becoming part of their network of support and healing.
