Washington state has joined a national trend of rising mental health needs, worsened by stretched systems, long wait times, and a care model that often separates therapy from psychiatric treatment. For many people seeking support, the hardest part isn’t deciding to get help, it’s finding a place that can offer everything they need without sending them down a spiral of referrals, waiting lists, and confusing care pathways. Counseling Services for Wellbeing (CSFW) was built to change that.
Unlike most mental health practices that specialize in either therapy or psychiatric care, CSFW brings both together under one roof. When a patient needs evaluation, medication management, and therapy, those services are coordinated, not compartmentalized. That difference may sound simple, but for patients navigating complex conditions like ADHD, anxiety, trauma, postpartum depression, or bipolar disorder, it eliminates one of the biggest stress points in treatment: fragmented care.
Clinical Director and Founder, Issy Kleiman, says the model was born out of decades watching the system fail patients who needed more than one type of support.
“At Counseling Services for Wellbeing, our prescribers often begin by addressing psychiatric needs through thoughtful medication management and then bring in therapy as part of a more complete treatment plan,” Kleiman explains. “Our goal is to make high-quality psychiatric care accessible, personal, and grounded in compassion so clients feel supported at every step.”
That structure is especially significant in Washington, where access to psychiatric providers has been a persistent challenge. Many patients face weeks or even months waiting to be seen, and even when they finally are, the coordination between diagnosis, medication, and therapy can feel disconnected or rushed. CSFW set out to tackle the issue by pairing clinical expertise with accessibility.
Patients aren’t bounced around between providers who never speak to one another. Instead, psychiatric nurse practitioners and licensed therapists collaborate directly, sharing insights and treatment plans to ensure continuity of care. And unlike many large virtual mental health platforms that prioritize volume, CSFW keeps the experience personal.
“We take time to truly get to know each client,” Kleiman adds. “Our prescribers and therapists work together to create individualized care plans that reflect each person’s unique needs and goals. Mental health treatment should feel both professional and human.”
Beyond clinical coordination, CSFW prioritizes practical access. With telehealth services available across Washington state, patients can connect to care from home, school, or work without sacrificing the quality of treatment. At a time when mental health support is more essential than ever, the practice has positioned itself as a model for what thoughtful, integrated care should look like.
