Greetings and welcome. I'm Dr. Karen Beth Acheson, Ph.D., and I have over 20 years of experience bringing warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor to help empower people to make healthy changes in their lives. My primary focus is adult psychotherapy. My style is down-to-earth; I draw from humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral & mindfulness-based therapies. My specialty areas include: Depression; Bipolar (manic) Depression; Anxiety; Trauma (including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder); and Emotional/Sexual/physical Abuse. Also, I am now blending my lifelong passion for animals, including a B.S. in Animal Science, with
expertise as a Psychologist to offer specialized assistance for people with emotional concerns related to companion animals including care-taking, grief/loss, hoarding and so forth. I look forward to connecting with you to learn how I may be of help.
**I am accepting Premera BC, Regence BS, Other BCBS, First Choice, Medicare, and Self-Pay. Please check your benefits to be certain I am in-network with your specific policy. **Also, I offer telehealth directly through my private office and through AmmericanWell.com (OnlineCare Group and LiveHealthOnline).
