Sometimes in the winds of change, we find our true direction.
Life is sacred, and you deserve to enjoy it.
Hello, I'm Shaleena Bertram, an enrolled tribal member of the Lummi Nation. With over 19 years of experience as a mental health counselor working in Indian Country and community mental health, I've been fortunate to be welcomed into the lives and challenges of individuals and families. It's an honor to have you here considering the possibility of taking this journey with me. Counseling is a safe space where we build trust, explore your strengths, navigate through challenges, develop new skills, take risks, and embrace life. I work with individuals across all age groups, from youth and adolescents to adults and elders.
