Nina Lupo, LMFT

Nina Lupo is a Washington-licensed LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 25 years of clinical experience supporting adults, families, couples, adolescents, and children. Over the course of her career she has worked in nonprofit agencies, private practice, and educational settings, holding roles as counselor, therapist, case manager, advocate, consultant, and supervisor. This breadth of experience informs a practical, strengths-based approach that is tailored to each person and family she serves.

Nina completed undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of Washington, where she contributed to Dr. John Gottman’s marital therapy research, and earned graduate training in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University with an emphasis in marriage, family, and child therapy. Her training and experience shape work with relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, mood and anxiety concerns, career and life transitions, and a wide range of other struggles including ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.

She brings a direct yet compassionate style and often integrates person-centered and solution-focused perspectives, offering both longer-term therapeutic partnership and focused short-term interventions. Therapy with Nina is collaborative - she helps clients access their strengths, learn practical tools, and move toward greater resilience and well-being. She also provides support during crises and acknowledges the widespread effects of recent collective stress, welcoming individuals into a supportive space for growth and recovery.
