  • The Best Choice for Quality Mental Health Care in Seattle
    EBCTS is the clear choice for mental health treatment in Seattle because of the value they place on providing evidence based mental health care and their clinicians are highly trained to provide this care.

    EBCTS provides comprehensive evidence-based treatments for a wide range of clients, from those suffering with chronic, complicated mental health conditions to those suffering from anxiety disorders or needing assistance to manage life stresses. When I want my clients to get the best care possible in Seattle, I send them to EBTCS and if my own family member needed help, I would send them to EBTCS.

  • Care I Confidently Recommend
    When my patients ask me where to seek expert consultation and treatment for their anxious or depressed children, I tell them the same thing I tell my adult patients: EBTCS.

    It has a group of the most leading edge, skilled and competent therapists (for both adults and children) in Seattle. I always know my patients and their families will get QUALITY treatment of the highest order. I have never been disappointed or wrong.

  • Over a Decade of Trust and Compassionate Care
    I’ve worked with the clinicians at EBTCS for more than 10 years and in all interactions they have provided thoughtful, collaborative, and compassionate care for my pediatric patients and their families.

    The psychologists and psychiatrists routinely reach out to primary care providers to balance their current assessments with a longitudinal look at the patient’s mental and physical health.

  •  A Leading Center for Evidence-Based Mental Health Care
    This clinic is one of the leading treatment centers in Seattle and a center of excellence in providing the best care possible guided by what science shows is most effective.

    They are constantly striving to integrate the newest treatments into their practice and are one of the few group practices in the country who is actively engaged in scientific research on their work. I highly recommended them!

  • It Makes All the Difference to Send Patients Here
    Our primary care office has referred patients to EBTCS since 2005. We consider this group to be one of the best mental health practices in the Pacific Northwest.

    The psychotherapists here are uniformly of high caliber and we get typically get rave reviews back from patients who have gone here for care. When it comes to mental health care, there is a wide range of quality, from really quite poor to excellent. It makes sense to be at one of the best places possible. It can make all the difference.

  • When I’m Asked Who to Recommend, I Say EBTCS
    When I am asked who I recommend in Seattle for top-tier evidence-based treatment or training, I answer with 5 letters: EBTCS.

    Many clients and trainees have circled back to let me know how extremely grateful they were for the referral. Additionally, EBTCS was the first and remains one of only a handful of DBT programs in Washington State certified by the Linehan Board of Certification. They are capable of delivering the best care to the clients most in need.
