On Headway, you can review detailed provider bios to learn about their style and specialties, then book a session directly. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good fit before committing.

Therapist and counselor are general terms for licensed professionals who provide talk therapy for mental health concerns. Their specific titles (such as LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) vary based on their training and license type.

On Headway, you can find both therapists and psychiatrists to match the type of care you're looking for.

Look for a licensed provider whose specialties and approach match your needs. Consider whether you want someone experienced with a specific concern (like anxiety, ADHD, or relationship issues) or a particular therapy style (like CBT or EMDR). Practical factors matter too — think about whether you prefer in-person sessions on the Eastside or virtual visits, and what days and times work with your schedule. On Headway, provider bios include details about their background, approach, and what to expect, so you can feel informed before booking.
