Seattle Counseling Service

Seattle Counseling Service Proudly serving the LGBTQ Community since 1969, we offer mental health, addiction recovery and harm Sometimes we just want outside perspective and insight.

Seattle Counseling Service is a community-based organization that has been dedicated to promoting health and wellness within the LGBT community for 47 years. SCS began as a solely volunteer-supported effort in the summer of 1969 to fill an unmet need for community members to connect with one another in a safe and supportive environment. Over the years, SCS has become a nationally recognized leader in cutting edge approaches to therapy, education, intervention and recovery. There are many reasons that people decide to go into therapy. Some of us need help managing depression, anxiety or severe mental illness. We may need support as we go through a major life transition or begin to explore our identity. Mental health services include:
- Individual Therapy & Case Management
- Couples & Family Therapy
- Group Therapy
- Psychiatric Services and Medication Management

Sometimes we feel conflicted about giving up our drug of choice, even when we realize it's causing problems in our lives, and recovery can seem like an impossible goal. It is a process that requires time, commitment, motivation and support. We can help you engage in the treatment process, modify your attitudes and behaviors related to drug use and increase healthy life skills. All services are completely confidential. We offer:
- Chemical Dependency Assessments
- Individual Counseling & Case Management
- Group Therapy

Wishing all of you a very happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Warm wishes for a joyous new year ✨

We're giving thanks this year and always, but especially today on . Since our founding in 1969, our mission has always been to advocate for and serve the LGBTQ+ community. The pandemic has increased the number of stressors for all of us, and there is increased need for mental health and substance use disorder services. These experiences have made LGBTQ+ individuals more vulnerable. Despite such challenging times, we are grateful to the community partners, donors, funders, and stakeholders for their support. Many clients coming through our doors do not have insurance coverage nor the ability to pay for the services they need. No one is turned away because of their inability to pay for our services.⁠ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβ

A message from our CEO πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ As LGBTQ+ History Month comes to an end, we at Seattle Counseling Service know that each and every day will be a part of our history. October will be a month to recognize important moments in the history of LGBTQ+ individuals. Since 1969, SCS’s mission has always been to advocate for and serve the LGBTQ+ community. What sets SCS’s work apart from other mental health agencies is the barriers that our LGBTQ+ community faces every day. Sadly, the pandemic has increased the number of stressors for all of us, and there is increased need for mental health and substance use disorder services. Despite such challenging time, I want to express my gratitude to the community partners, donors, funders, and stakeholders for the support. Because of supporters like you, we have been able to support clients that come to SCS for services, and throughout the pandemic, we have been responsive and maintain services for our community. We need your help to sustain our work and continue providing support. Please consider making a monthly recurring donation of any amount. Your contributions help SCS forge ahead in our mission to advance the social well-being and behavioral health of our LGBTQ+ communities. πŸŒˆπŸ’– Donate here: https://seattlecounseling.org/donate/
