Low fee therapy
Self and Other offers low-fee therapy through our clinical internship program. Our interns are advanced graduate students in Seattle University's existential-phenomenological psychology program — training grounded in the uniqueness and dignity of every person they work with. At Self and Other, they continue that training in depth modalities under the close supervision of our licensed clinicians, while offering therapy to the community at a reduced cost.
We believe everyone should have access to mental health support — and the chance to experience a therapeutic relationship that creates lasting change.
Low fee doesn't mean lesser therapy. Our interns have met Washington state's requirements to practice under supervision, and we hold them to more than that: Self and Other is dedicated to developing therapists who are theoretically grounded, who share our community's values, and who bring the sensibilities that create the conditions for psychological change. We take great care in matching each new client's needs and goals with the right therapist.
What it costs
Sessions are $35–$80, on a sliding scale based on what you can manage — self-reported, with no income verification or paperwork. Sliding-scale spots are limited, so it's worth reaching out soon.
Who you'll work with
Our current interns are William and Ana, both completing their master's in existential-phenomenological psychology at Seattle University and practicing under our team and their school’s supervisors. Sessions are available in person at our Eastlake office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Washington. Read their bios to see whose approach resonates with you.
How to start
Begin with a free 20-minute consultation — a short conversation to see whether this is a good fit, with no obligation to continue.
