Hello!

Thank you for reaching out to Olympia Therapy. We are grateful that you’ve inquired about mental health services with us. We strive to keep up with the mental health needs of our community and know that it can be difficult to make this first step towards wellness. Please know that we are working diligently to match clients with a mental health provider as soon as possible; however, it can take time. 

WAITLIST EXPECTATIONS: While we work hard to get clients into therapy as efficiently as we can, it may take a few months to see a therapist, not unlike other specialized medical providers. This is dependent on many things including: level of care needed, insurance coverage, and availability on our clinician's caseloads. Expected wait times vary. At this time we are not providing services for cases with legal/court involvement and couples/marital therapy.

CLINICIAN AVAILABILITY: At this time, we have Senior Clinicians accepting insurance clients located in Redmond, Tumwater, Montesano, Lander WY & via telehealth in WA & WY. In our Tumwater office, we have Professional Associates (Regence Insurance or Private Pay) and Internship/Practicum Students (Private Pay Only) with immediate availability.  This will be covered in more detail in the Location Preferences section below.

Parents:
If you are eager to start making changes with your child’s mental health, one thing you can do prior to starting therapy is to engage in our Playful Wisdom Parenting Program by visiting www.playfulwisdom.net. Many behavioral issues with children can be improved or even resolved by making changes in parenting style and obtaining a better understanding of how to support your child and self during stressful times.

The Playful Wisdom Parenting program was created by Cary Hamilton and her colleagues based on the parenting strategies used most often with parents when their children are in therapy. We developed this program to support and meet the ever-increasing need for parents seeking mental wellness for their families. The skills and learning offered in Playful Wisdom are foundational for healthy child-parent relationships, even preventative and resilience building for stressful times.

If you want to continue please provide us with the following additional information for the client. After submission, you will receive a confirmation email at the first email listed below. Please submit a separate form for additional clients.
