Question 5

Can I see a therapist about a change I chose?

Question 6

Can I keep my therapist if I move?

Accepted Answer

Losing a therapist you trust can feel like one more thing a move takes away. If you move within Washington, online sessions can continue.

On Alma, filter therapists in Tacoma by format if you want sessions you can keep.

Is online therapy an option during a Life Transition in Tacoma, WA?

Question 10
