FAQs

Children, adolescents, and adults can access structured residential mental health treatment at Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center on Madison Street in Seattle. Their psychiatrist-led programs treat mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders for medically stable clients, with 24/7 residential care for children and teens, 24/7 residential care for adults, and 7-day partial hospitalization program (PHP) care for children and adolescents in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood.

Practice Skills With Clinical Support

Pathlight Seattle uses mindfulness-based, psychiatrist-led care to help clients understand symptoms and practice new responses. Treatment can include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral activation, DBT-centered trauma education and protocol, and specialized trauma and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) tracks that support emotional regulation, communication, values-based choices, and daily functioning.

Choose Structured Residential or Daytime Care

Seattle’s 24/7 residential programs give children, teens, and adults a highly structured treatment setting when symptoms require more support than weekly outpatient care. For children and adolescents who need intensive daytime care, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) meets 7 days per week while allowing evenings at home or in a peer-supported setting.

Support Families Beyond Discharge

Pathlight includes family and alumni support before, during, and after treatment. Their team develops a personalized discharge plan and can connect clients and families with aftercare services, alumni support programs, education, and practical resources, helping families understand next steps and continue support after residential or partial hospitalization care ends.

Testimonial
The referral process was incredibly easy and straight forward. All staff through the admissions process were friendly and very responsive. I was kept in the loop every step of the way during the admission process. All together from the referral, intake assessment and then admission to facility was very quick (about 4 days). It was a pleasure working with Pathlight and I am so happy we were able to get our patient to great facility that could meet their needs.
