We work with educators and school employees including:
Teachers

PEBB Therapy
The Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) provides benefits to many Washington state employees, higher education employees, retirees, and participating public employers.
If your PEBB coverage is through Premera Blue Cross, you may be able to receive behavioral health services through Northwest Mental Health Alliance.
Our clinicians provide therapy for concerns ranging from everyday stress and anxiety to complex trauma, OCD, dissociation, relationship concerns, and neurodivergence.
EMDR Therapy
Several of our clinicians provide EMDR therapy, an evidence-based trauma treatment designed to help the brain process experiences that continue to feel unresolved.
EMDR may be used for concerns such as:
PTSD
Childhood trauma
Medical trauma
Relationship trauma
Grief and loss
Panic and anxiety
Distressing memories
Negative beliefs about yourself
Experiences that continue to feel emotionally “stuck”
We also provide EMDR for clients who have already completed significant therapy but continue to feel affected by past experiences.
OCD Treatment
We provide treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder and related anxiety symptoms, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) when clinically appropriate.
OCD may involve more than visible rituals. Clients may struggle with:
Intrusive thoughts
Reassurance seeking
Mental reviewing
Checking
Contamination fears
Harm-related fears
Relationship OCD
Religious or moral obsessions
Perfectionism
Fear of uncertainty
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Our practice provides therapy for autistic and ADHD adults, teens, and children.
Therapy may focus on:
Burnout
Masking
Emotional regulation
Executive functioning
Relationships
Sensory needs
Identity
Trauma related to being misunderstood or unsupported
Late identification of ADHD or autism
Our goal is not to make neurodivergent people appear more neurotypical. Therapy should help people understand themselves, reduce distress, and build lives that work better for them.
