Licensed Clinical Child Psychologist
Overview
We are a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit clinic and serve all families in Southeast Seattle regardless of income, status, or belief system. We launched in 2014 as a primary care practice with the mission of “sharing the love of Jesus through excellent, enhanced primary care for the entire community.” Shortly thereafter, we recognized that autism diagnostic evaluation was a significant unmet need in our area and responded by becoming an Autism Center of Excellence. Since 2015, we have been providing autism evaluations for children across Washington State and pediatric primary care with a focus on special healthcare needs.
We are now in the process of establishing a division within our practice that is devoted to wraparound care for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This will focus on population-based services, including the following: diagnostic assessment, person-centered planning, parent education, and brief evidence-based therapies.
Missions & Passions
Our mission is to share the love of Jesus through excellent, enhanced primary care for the entire community. Jesus’ healing ministry encompassed people’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and we seek to follow his model. In seeking to care for patients as whole people, we prioritize chaplaincy skills for patient-facing staff.
