Lawrence Watkins

Hello,

My name is Lawrence Watkins. I completed my Masters and clinical training in Seattle, Washington. Currently, I research cultural identification in connection to mental health outcomes. I specialize in identity formation with an emphasis on ethnic/racial identity negotiation. My background is philosophically grounded, where I engage in grand questions regarding the meaning of life, purpose, and interpersonal conflict including peers, family, and intimate partners.

Grounded in existential-phenomenological therapy, I approach therapy from a philosophical basis as well as evidenced-based approaches such as CBT, Psychodynamics, and Solution-focused.

In therapy, we should have open and challenging conversations where all aspects of your life can be explored in connection to any ailments and prowess that you may experience. In other words, you will learn how to suffer and thrive as collective human experiences from a positive and resilient standpoint.
