Washington Mental Health Therapy Specialties
Plenty of practices cover the everyday concerns. Rowan goes further, into the areas few Washington therapists train for: health psychology for chronic illness and medical adjustment, rehabilitation psychology after injury or disability, and the mental weight of serious medical and neurological conditions. That depth changes outcomes. When your psychologist genuinely understands the condition you're living with, care fits more precisely and progress comes sooner, the kind of measurable improvement our work is built around.

Attention, executive function, and the patterns that follow adults with ADHD into work, home, and relationships.
Explore treatment →Grief & Loss
Loss, anticipatory grief, and the quieter erosion of identity that major life change brings.

Explore treatment →Chronic Illness
Help carrying the psychological weight of a medical condition that treatment alone does not fully settle.

See our approach →Trauma & PTSD

See our approach →How We Work: Our Evidence-Based Methods
What does evidence-based care really look like once you're in the room? Rowan therapists don't lock you into one method. We draw from the approaches with the strongest research behind them for your situation, and adjust as your needs change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Structured work on the thought patterns behind anxiety, depression, and avoidance. It is the most researched therapy there is.
Learn more →Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Loosens the grip of painful thoughts while keeping you pointed at what genuinely matters to you.
Learn more →Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Catches the depressive spiral before it tightens, drawing on decades of clinical study.
Learn more →Humanistic & Existential Therapy
Meaning, identity, and the questions that surface when life veers off the plan. Depth work for when easing symptoms is not the whole goal.
Learn more →Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Practical skills for steadying emotions, riding out distress, and repairing relationships that keep going sideways.
Learn more →Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative way through change that keeps stalling, especially when one part of you wants the opposite of another.

What Our Washington Clients Say
Hear from people who found relief through therapy at Rowan Center.
Almost bailed on my first session twice. Ended up doing it from my kitchen table instead. No regrets at all.
L.R.
I'd seen neurologists, tried the diets, the apps, all of it, and everyone kept circling back to "manage your stress" like that meant something. The work I did here got at how the pain and my mood were feeding each other. The migraines aren't gone. But the weeks don't swallow me whole anymore.
C.M.
Okay, the Seattle winters are no joke, and by year two it had me barely getting off the couch. I tried the lamp, the vitamin D, the whole Pinterest checklist. What finally helped was digging into what was going on underneath it all. Made it through this winter feeling like myself again.
D.W.
Spent my whole life thinking I was just lazy and disorganized and kind of a mess. Nope. ADHD, never diagnosed. Someone here helped me set up systems that actually work with my brain instead of against it, and I stopped hating myself for it.
A.K.
When chemo ended everyone threw me a little party and expected me to just be happy, and I was, but I was also terrified it would come back and felt guilty for not being more grateful. Nobody talks about that part. Working through it here, slowly, gave me my life back. I'm present with my kids again instead of just bracing for the next scan.
J.S.
I'd tried therapy before and mostly felt like I was explaining OCD to people who'd read about it in a textbook. The person I saw here had genuinely worked with it before. The difference showed up fast.
M.T.
I cannot say enough about the help I got here!! After my accident I couldn't even get on I-5 without a full-blown panic attack. We worked through it step by step, and last week I drove all the way to Tacoma without my heart pounding once. Life changing.
R.B.
My dad passed in the spring and I came apart at the seams. I didn't want someone to nod along and tell me it gets easier. I wanted help carrying it. That's what I found here.

Schedule a ConsultationWashington Therapy Questions, Answered
Is online therapy legal in Washington?
Yes. Licensed Washington therapists can legally provide telehealth to anyone physically located in Washington at the time of the session. Rowan psychologists are licensed in Washington or authorized through PSYPACT, and our therapists and counselors hold active Washington licenses. All sessions use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. If you travel out of state, we pause sessions or coordinate with a licensed provider in that state.
Does Rowan Center accept my Washington insurance?
Rowan is in-network with Medicare, Aetna, and Cigna, and credentialed with TRICARE West as non-network providers. We also work with WA Worker’s Comp (L&I). For PPO plans we do not contract with, we provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA work for most services. We verify your benefits before your first session.
How much does therapy at Rowan cost?
Session rates depend on who you work with. Our licensed psychologists charge $275-$350 per individual session. Couples and family sessions range from $190-$350 depending on provider. If you use insurance we are in-network with, your cost is whatever your plan sets, often a copay between $20 and $60 per session. Out-of-network PPO patients typically pay the full fee up front and get reimbursed through a superbill. We accept check, credit/debit, and HSA cards.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many Washington clients come to Rowan without a formal diagnosis. Stress, life transitions, grief, or a new medical diagnosis all qualify as reasons to start. If insurance is billing, your therapist will identify an appropriate diagnostic code from your intake, but a diagnosis is a billing tool, not a gate to care.
How do I verify a therapist is licensed in Washington?
Look up any Washington-licensed therapist’s name on the Washington Department of Health provider credential search. Rowan’s Washington team includes psychologists licensed in Washington or authorized through PSYPACT, plus therapists and counselors licensed by the Washington Department of Health. Each therapist’s license or PSYPACT authorization is listed on their profile page.
What if my therapist is not the right fit?
Tell us. Fit is the strongest predictor of good outcomes, and we would rather match you with a better-fit therapist on our team than have you stop therapy. We can usually reschedule you with a new provider within a week. There is no charge to switch inside the practice.
Is Rowan accepting new Washington patients?
Yes. Our Washington team has openings for new patients most weeks, online and in-person at our Seattle office. A free 15-minute consultation is the fastest way to check fit and get scheduled. If we are full in a specialty, we refer you to a vetted Washington therapist outside our practice.
How private and secure is online therapy with Rowan?
Every session runs on a secure, HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform. Your clinical notes live in an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant electronic health record. We never share your information with employers, schools, or family members without your written consent.
What is the difference between online and in-person therapy at Rowan?
Clinically, the research is clear: for most presentations, video therapy works as well as in-person. The difference is logistical. Online means no commute, easier weekly consistency, and the ability to meet from anywhere in Washington. In-person at our Seattle office gives you a dedicated therapy space away from home. Some people do a mix. You choose, and you can switch.
Do I need to live near Seattle to work with Rowan?
No. We see people by telehealth from Bellingham to Vancouver and everywhere between. Our Seattle office is available if you are in the greater Seattle area and want in-person care, but it is optional. Most of the people we work with never step into the office.
What specialties do you offer for Washington residents?
Health psychology, rehabilitation psychology, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, brain injury, chronic illness adjustment, couples and family therapy, and teen and adolescent therapy. Each has a dedicated team and a detailed page explaining our approach.
How quickly can I get a first appointment?
Most Washington clients book a first consultation within three to five business days. For active crisis or safety concerns, call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room, then reach out to us for ongoing care.
