Hi there, I’m Bex Lipps (they/them/she). I am a queer and nonbinary artist, song carrier, mental health therapist, facilitator, and creative space holder.

Creating a brave and supportive space where people can explore their authentic selves and access their own inherent wisdom is at the heart of my practice. For nearly a decade I have worked in community mental health, nonprofit, and private practice settings with adults experiencing and recovering from trauma. I’ve developed a knack for holding the complexity and messiness of being human with compassion, humor, and nuance. I particularly love to help folks access the power of creative expression for healing and growth.

My therapy practice blends mindfulness, somatic awareness, parts work, and expressive arts to help people enhance self-awareness, regulate emotions, and promote a sense of groundedness amidst life's complexities. Incorporating expressive arts into therapy (visual art, writing, music, etc.) offers a creative outlet for self-expression and exploration, and enables us to communicate and process emotions that may be challenging to express verbally. I believe in the power of these modalities to tap into the mind-body connection, allowing us to explore emotions, build resilience, and cultivate self-compassion.

My in person work takes place on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish & Coast Salish people, commonly known as Seattle, Washington. I see therapy clients at my office in Pioneer Square, via telehealth, or outdoors at local parks for nature-based therapy. I am a licensed social work associate (LSWAIC) , and am currently under the supervision of Horizon Greene, LICSW/LCSW.
