Seattle Psychologists

This list will help you find a psychologist or therapist in Seattle, WA. The list is provided by Psyc.TV, the leading provider of streaming video (continuing education training) for mental health professionals. In contrast to directories that allow any licensed therapist to pay for a listing, we offer the names of select psychologists in the Seattle area who have earned a Ph.D. from a highly-regarded university program and have completed commensurate internship and/or post-doctoral training. We do not have the capacity to investigate the actual practices of these individuals. Nevertheless, such a list of well-trained psychologists is the best place to start your search for a therapist.

Before you select a psychologist or therapist in the Seattle area, interview several candidates by phone. A good decision will save you a lot of time and money. Read below to learn more about how to select a psychologist or therapist. A warm, trusting relationship with your therapist can be invaluable, but that's not all there is to good therapy.

Selecting a Psychologist in Seattle

Research provides clear guidance to psychologists as they work with some issues that people present in therapy, such as anxiety and depression. On the website for division 12 of APA (American Psychological Association), you can click on various psychological problems (e.g., Anxiety Disorders and Stress) to see which psychotherapies have been shown to be effective in the treatment of those difficulties. Many people also seek therapy for personal growth and other problems that are less clearly defined. Although there may not be much research that provides direct guidance to therapists as they work with these subjective issues, a psychologist who has a strong educational background and values research is most likely to be able to provide assistance.

With a little effort, you can find an excellent psychologist or therapist in Seattle. Some directories list hundreds of psychologists and therapists in Seattle, although many of these therapists' offices are located well outside of Seattle proper. In any case, there are clearly lots of options in and around Seattle, and the more you know, the more successful your selection of a psychologist or therapist is likely to be. As you consider psychologists' training backgrounds, you may wish to click to see a list of clinical psychology training programs that particularly value the contribution that research makes to good treatment as well as a list of highly-rated programs. Of course, there are many excellent psychologists who may not have gone to the top-ranked programs, just as there are many excellent attorneys who did not attend Harvard or Yale for law school. Again, we recommend that you make some phone calls to interview potential psychologists and therapists who have offices in parts of Seattle that are convenient for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions. (Click to see more tips about choosing a therapist and a link to some good questions to ask potential therapists.)
