Starting therapy with us is simple. You can reach out through our contact page to get paired with a provider who fits your needs. We offer both in-person therapy in Bellevue and online therapy throughout Washington State, making it easy to get started wherever you are.

We understand starting counseling can be a bit overwhelming at times and we are here to make it as easy as possible on you. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Finding the right therapist depends on your goals, preferences, and what you want support with, whether that’s anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or life transitions. At Alignwell Modern Therapy, our client coordinator personally helps match you with a therapist who aligns with your needs and personality. Start the matching process by filling out the contact page.

You can expect your counselor to take the time to understand who you are, what is bringing you in for therapy, and the direction you’d like therapy to guide you.

Before your first session, you will fill out on online questionnaire to help your therapist gain a deeper understanding of your concerns, goals, and needs. This will help guide the questions that are asked. Your therapist will also explain their approach (learn more on our methods page) and answer your questions so you know what to expect moving forward.

Ultimately, it will be a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share and start working to help you feel better.

We offer online counseling sessions through our HIPAA compliant telehealth platform, Simple Practice. All you need is a strong Wi-Fi connection, private space to chat, and a phone, computer, or tablet. The goal is to make sure therapy is as accessible and convenient for you as possible.

The therapeutic process will look different from person to person. Some might start in order to deal with a specific or unexpected even in their life, such as a job loss or divorce. Others choose therapy to help manage long standing issues from the past that continue to affect their thoughts and behavior patterns. Many clients find it beneficial to see a counselor to help them explore or develop parts of their life that they are not entirely satisfied with.

No matter the reason, working with a counselor in a supportive environment can help you discover new strategies, coping skills, resolve conflicts, and guide yourself through future challenges. Therapy gives you a safe space to show up authentically.

Weekly or every other week for 50-55 minutes. In the beginning it works best to meet weekly to help build the relationship, establish trust, and start seeing progress. Together we will reassess and potentially decrease the frequency of sessions based on your needs. Just like any topic, we can talk about this at any stage in the therapy process!

Many clients find that they have reached their goals in 4-6 months and no longer require ongoing sessions. We also see clients who chose to stay in therapy much longer as they have seen improvements and really enjoy having a place to process their thoughts/feelings and have ongoing support on a regular basis. Your therapist and you will regularly check in on your progress and discuss your continued care.

We have busy lives, and we understand that at some point you may need to cancel an appointment. We do require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice of a cancellation. You are responsible for payment for your session in full when cancellations are received less than 48 hours in advance. We are not able to bill your insurance for missed sessions.

Therapy can be highly effective for anxiety, stress, and burnout. We use evidence-based approaches to help you build coping skills, set boundaries, and feel more balanced in your daily life. Learn more about this on our anxiety and stress page.
