As an organization we recognize that QTBIPoC folx tend to experience disproportionate amounts of mental health disparities due to large gaps in our current mental healthcare system. Here at MEND we believe that part of addressing those gaps is through the consistency of our intersectional feminist lens. In an effort to promote equity, we are expanding our team and client population to include members who hold identities that have not traditionally been offered at MEND. And while we center supporting QTBIPoC folx, we also offer services to those who do not hold these identities.
Our counselors include staff therapists that offer skillful support in a wide range of areas including those that specifically impact individuals and relationships - anxiety, depression, intimacy and relationship dynamics, disordered eating, use of substances, and oppression including sexism, racism, and homophobia.
We are passionate about making counseling a more inclusive resource. We can accept the following insurance plans: Community Health Plan of WA, First Choice, Kaiser, Molina, Premera, and Regence. We also offer sliding scale opportunities, please refer to our website for details. We love what we do, and we hope to come alongside you in a meaningful way.
