Seattle-Area Therapist Resources
The Student Counseling Center at SPU offers mental-health counseling to our undergraduate population. As a service to graduate students and to non-students in the community, we offer this list of Seattle-area therapists, doctors, dietitians, and other specialists to whom we often refer people.
[$] = Therapists who have committed to offer a reduced fee of $50 or less to currently enrolled SPU graduate and undergraduate students who are without insurance coverage and do not have the resources to pay a full fee.
[#] = Therapists who distinguish themselves by faith.
PLEASE NOTE: Our Resource List is currently CLOSED; therefore, we are not adding additional practitioners at this time.
