Autism Therapists in Washington

I offer therapy rooted in my lived experience within the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kink, and neurodivergent communities, helping clients navigate their identities and relationships with confidence and authenticity

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Seattle, Washington. I specialize in helping individuals and their families manage emotions, increase resilience, strengthen communication and build healthy supportive relationships.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based modalities, including EMDR and DBT, to help you process past experiences, build emotional regulation skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Through EMDR, I support clients in reprocessing distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming and more integrated. Using DBT, I help you develop practical tools for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. My style is warm, grounded, and engaged. I value authenticity and strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. Whether you’re seeking relief from current stressors or working through deeper patterns, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in building a life that feels more balanced, connected, and aligned with your goals.

Good news: I accept most major insurance, including Molina Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Regence, Premera, Aetna, Cigna, Evernorth, and Kaiser. You deserve a therapist who truly understands. As a gay mental health professional and LGBTQ+ ally, I see how identity shapes mental health. I honor your cultural, racial, and gender identity, welcoming all backgrounds. Whether navigating anxiety, OCD, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, relationships, family conflict, grief, trauma, PTSD, or non-traditional relationships, I'm here for you. I create a warm, judgment-free space to process life's challenges and build meaningful growth. My approach combines genuine warmth with effective therapeutic methods. I meet you where you are today, not where you or others expect you to be. Together, we'll discover what's serving you, what's holding you back, and what transformation looks like for you. Expect real conversations, actionable strategies, and your own sacred space. Taking this step shows incredible courage, and I'm honored you're considering this journey with me. Whether you're working through challenges or ready to flourish, I'm here to walk alongside you. Let's talk about how we can create meaningful change together. I'd love to hear from you.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness. My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem. I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later. My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants. Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges. My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.
