We believe access to quality mental health care is a right, not a privilege. Our clinics accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare.
The insurance plans listed reflect acceptance across LightHeart Mental Health as a whole. Acceptance varies by clinic, and a listed plan may not be accepted at every location. To confirm coverage, please contact our central intake team. They will review your specific plan and connect you with an appropriate mental health care provider who accepts your insurance.

Therapy is a form of mental health care in which clients work with a licensed therapist to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and supportive setting. Therapy helps people gain a clearer understanding of what they’re experiencing, identify patterns that may not be serving them, and develop effective strategies for managing stress and emotional challenges.
At LightHeart Mental Health, therapy is collaborative and personalized. Your therapist will work with you to set meaningful goals and shape sessions around what feels most relevant to your needs. Your therapist may draw from evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, or internal family systems (IFS). Most therapists use an “eclectic” approach, pulling from several modalities based on your unique situation and goals.
Sessions can take place in person at our Bothell clinic or via telehealth, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and preferences.
Clients come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are managing a diagnosed mental health condition, while others are navigating family conflict, relationship stress, or a difficult life transition. Therapy can provide multiple benefits, including:
Because therapy is tailored to each client, the process reflects individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Starting therapy can feel uncertain. Your therapist will help guide the process in a clear, supportive way.
Psychiatry looks at a person’s full spectrum of health: the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape how a person thinks, feels, and functions day to day. When you meet with a psychiatric provider, they take time to understand your symptoms before recommending the next step, whether that’s medication, a referral to a therapist, or a combination. At LightHeart, our teams include psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, with multiple clinicians collaborating to provide comprehensive treatment.
Medication is one tool among several and won’t necessarily be the default, even when you’re seeing a psychiatrist. Your provider’s role is to walk you through every option, help you weigh what fits into your lifestyle, and stay with you over time, adjusting dosage or trying a new approach if something isn’t working or the side effects are hard to live with. For people who find that medication alone doesn’t provide relief, many of our clinics also offer options like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or Spravato®.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or even if you’re not sure yet, a psychiatric provider is there to listen closely and shape a plan personalized to your symptoms and needs. And when your care includes both a psychiatric provider and a therapist, our LightHeart teams coordinate on your care so nothing falls through the cracks between appointments.
Here are some of the benefits of seeing LightHeart for psychiatry:
Here’s what your visit to our X clinic will typically look like:
Mental health has been identified as a leading health concern among Bothell residents, with community surveys highlighting anxiety, depression, and access to care as ongoing concerns. Recent data from the CDC shows that depression prevalence was 24.5% among adults over 18 in Bothell, and that about 14% had frequent mental distress.
Life in Bothell can bring its own set of pressures, from demanding work schedules and commuting stress to balancing family and personal responsibilities. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), generalized anxiety disorder alone affects 6.8 million U.S. adults, yet fewer than half are currently receiving treatment.
Finding the right clinician is one of the most important parts of starting mental health care. As you explore your options, it may help to consider:
Our intake team is ready to connect you with a provider whose approach, availability, and expertise fit what you’re looking for.
What does therapy involve?
Therapy involves meeting with a licensed therapist in a private, supportive setting to talk about your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Sessions may focus on managing stress, developing coping tools, or gaining insight into your past or the patterns affecting your daily life.
How long does therapy typically last?
The length of time you’ll spend in therapy depends entirely on your individual goals and needs. Many clients notice meaningful progress within a few months, while others find ongoing support valuable for years. You and your therapist will discuss what feels right as your care progresses.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If emotional or mental health challenges are affecting your work, your relationships, or your day-to-day well-being, therapy is worth considering. A first session can provide clarity about whether this form of support fits your needs.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?
No, a referral isn’t required to see a psychiatrist or another provider who prescribes medication. If you’re noticing mental health symptoms, meeting with a psychiatric provider can help you understand what’s going on, and you can decide from there whether medication feels like the right next step.
Why should I see a psychiatrist instead of my regular doctor for mental health medication?
Your primary care doctor is able to diagnose and prescribe medication for mental health conditions, but psychiatric providers go through specialized training focused specifically on mental health symptoms and disorders. Working with a provider who specializes in this area often means more personalized insight into your medication options.
Does LightHeart Mental Health accept my insurance?
LightHeart Mental Health accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid at many locations. Our intake team can walk you through your coverage and potential payment options before your first appointment. Call us at 425.800.5688 to verify your plan.
Is telehealth available in Bothell?
Yes, clients can choose between in-person appointments at our Bothell clinic or telehealth sessions, depending on their preference and availability. Many of our clients use telehealth as their primary way of meeting with their provider.
