Behavioral therapy in Ballard
We offer behavioral therapy in Ballard: CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, ACT, and DBT skills.
Behavioral therapy is practical. Instead of only talking about what feels hard, we work on the thoughts, habits, and patterns that keep you stuck, and practice skills you can use between sessions. These are among the most researched treatments for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression, and worry
- Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) for teens and young adults working through difficult experiences
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for building a values-based life alongside hard emotions
- DBT skills for intense emotions, with comprehensive DBT available through Patrick Phelan, LMHC

Support through the adjustment to a new baby: anxiety, low mood, identity shifts, and feeling like yourself again.
