Counseling West Seattle is home to twelve dedicated counselors ready to support your mental health needs.
It’s Fall, which means shorter days, cooler nights, and new back-to-school routines. Don’t forget to put your own wellbeing on the list, too! Now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment with one of our excellent counselors.
We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, with availability during the day, afternoon, and evening.
