MEND Seattle

Centering mental health care around identity, relationships, and lived experience, MEND Seattle provides individual, relationship, and group therapy through an identity-affirming, socially conscious lens, with locations in Columbia City and Capitol Hill. While welcoming clients of all backgrounds, the practice emphasizes care for QTBIPOC (queer, trans, black, indigenous, and people of color) communities. Its clinicians bring experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use, grief, identity development, and relationship challenges. Clients can attend sessions through telehealth or limited in-person appointments.

Making Therapy Personal and Accessible

MEND Seattle creates space for clients to explore their experiences and strengthen connections with themselves and others. Licensed therapists and graduate-level intern therapists bring experience in trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, substance use, grief, and relationship concerns. They draw from trauma-informed, relational, humanistic experiential, and other therapeutic approaches based on each clinician’s training and expertise. MEND recommends weekly therapy during the first 8-12 weeks of care and provides referrals when another provider is a better fit. Graduate-level intern therapists also offer reduced-rate counseling under direct clinical supervision, expanding access to affordable care.

Specialized Support and Access

MEND also provides culturally informed, neurodiverse-affirming psychological assessments, gender-care letters, garden therapy, and free dance group therapy. The practice accepts select insurance plans and offers sliding-scale options for self-pay clients. Instead of asking clients for their income, MEND asks them to consider what they can sustainably pay based on their economic situation, supporting its goal of making counseling accessible to as many communities as possible.
