Here are some names of other providers you may consider:

• Child & Teen Solutions https://www.childandteensolutions.com
• Eastside Psychological Associates eastsidepsychologicalassociates.com
• The Evidence Based Treatment Center of Seattle  ebtseattle.com
• The Seattle Clinic www.theseattleclinic.com
• UW Psychological Services and Training Clinic https://psych.uw.edu/community/the-clinic

By virtue of being group practices, these clinics are more likely to have client openings than I do as a private practitioner.

Additionally, please know about the existence of the Washington State Mental Health Referral Service for Children and Teens. This referral service, operated by Seattle Children’s Hospital provides referrals for Washington state children under the age of 17. Families can call 833-303-5437, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm PST, to connect with a referral specialist.
