Therapy at the Antioch Clinic
Our student therapists provide affordable psychotherapy under the supervision of licensed psychologists. Therapy is collaborative and individualized, with your therapist working with you to better understand your concerns, identify goals for treatment, and develop an approach that fits your individual needs.
The clinic currently offers individual therapy services in person or through telebehavioral health (TBH). We do not currently offer couples, family or group therapy services.
Telebehavioral Health
Telebehavioral health services are available to clients located in Washington State at the time of their appointment. Telebehavioral health allows clients to meet with their therapist remotely and can make therapy more accessible for those who live farther from the Clinic, experience transportation barriers, or otherwise prefer the flexibility of remote services.
Clients participating in telebehavioral health should have access to a private location where they can participate safely and confidentially in their appointment.
Our HIPAA-compliant telebehavioral health platform can be accessed from most internet-connected devices with a camera and microphone, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. For the best experience, clients should use an updated web browser and a stable internet connection.

How to Start Therapy
Call 206-268-4840 or email [email protected]. If leaving a voicemail or sending an email, please include your full name, phone number, and a brief description of the services you are seeking.
A Clinic staff member will speak with you briefly about what brings you to therapy and what you are looking for in services. This helps us determine whether the Clinic may be an appropriate fit for your needs and whether we currently have services available that may meet those needs.
If our services appear to be an appropriate fit, you will receive electronic forms to complete before scheduling your intake appointment. During this process you will also be asked to provide documentation of household income so that we can determine your therapy fee.
Your first appointment is an initial intake and is provided at no cost. During this appointment, a student clinician will learn more about your concerns, history, goals for therapy, and current needs. The intake helps the Clinic determine whether our services are an appropriate fit and provides information to help match you with an ongoing student therapist.
If you requested a $0 fee waiver, your request will be reviewed as part of the intake process and you will be notified of the decision before beginning ongoing therapy. If a fee waiver is available and approved, you will receive an updated Good Faith Estimate reflecting your new fee before ongoing services begin.
Following your intake, the Clinic will work to match you with a student therapist based on your clinical needs, scheduling availability, and current student clinician capacity.
Once a therapist has been assigned, Clinic staff or your therapist will contact you regarding scheduling and next steps.
Therapist assignment and scheduling depend on current student clinician availability. At times, the Clinic may maintain a waitlist or there may be a period of time between your initial intake and the start of ongoing therapy.
