Looking for good therapists for depression Hey, so, I think I need to see someone about depression. Or something similar. I don't know where to start looking. I've had to switch primary care providers several times in the last few years because a) I worked for a different company or b) my company changed health benefits. I asked the last nurse practitioner I saw during a health exam for a therapist referral but most of the results she gave me where categorized by religion. I don't want to talk to someone who is going to expect me to subscribe to a religion. I just want the name of some people who can help with depression and who take regence insurance. Please help I don't know what to do.

Check out Women's Therapy Referral Service: http://www.therapyreferral.org/ It is a network of female therapists in the area. You meet with a coordinator and for a flat fee, you meet with three therapists based on your criteria: location, specialty, methods, insurance, etc. Finding a good fit in a mental health professional can be very difficult and this service helps you find someone that clicks with you. I don't believe you have to be a woman to use their services but I'm not positive. Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for.
Looking for a recommendation for a therapist [Anxiety] Hi /r/Seattle,
I won't get into all the details but for the past year or so I have been dealing with frequent (but not debilitating) panic attacks and anxiety. I've been putting off seeing a therapist and trying to deal with it myself, but it's come to a point that it is interfering with my life and I feel I should speak to someone.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a therapist or counselor specializing in Anxiety/Depression? I've never gone to therapy before so I don't really know where to start. I tried googling to find recommended specialists but it was a bit overwhelming.
Also, if anyone else has struggled with anxiety/depression and has any tips/insight for me, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Are you a woman? If so, I would check out [Seattle Women's Therapy Referral Service](http://www.therapyreferral.org/). For $135 (sliding scale available), you get an initial consultation to get matched with three therapists...based on expertise, location, availability (nights/weekends), etc. You get to meet with these three therapists and get a feel for whether or not they are a good fit.
Recommendations for a psychiatrist/therapist in Seattle, for Psychopathic Behavioural tendencies. Hi, I am looking for good therapist who can help me with my psychopathic behavioural tendencies. What I till now thought of as my inability to express my feelings for someone (family, friends etc), has turned out to be my incapability towards emotional attachment. I cannot empathize with anyone, my parents, my brother, my spouse (I won't feel a thing if one of them dies in front of me right now). I have a good job, very supportive family and an extremely loving spouse, but I personally don't want all of this. I don't know what I want from my life, and I am 28years old.

For a therapist, you should try the [Seattle Womens Therapy Referral Service] (http://www.therapyreferral.org/). You pay a one-time fee ($125 I think) to meet with a woman who interviews you about what kind of therapist you're looking for, what problems you are facing, etc and she provides recommendations to 3 people. You then get to meet with all three of them for a free one-hour session to see if you are a good fit. If none of those 3 work out you can go back to the referral service for additional names.
can anyone recommend to me an inexpensive female therapist in the area? The UW mental health clinic charged me 200 dollars for a consultation and want close to that for each session. I can. not. afford that. Anybody have any recommendations? Thanks guys :)
