FAQs

If you have more questions, our Care Coordination Team would love to help.
How can I find a therapist in Seattle?

Too often searching for a therapist is a daunting task. Especially when you’re feeling hopeless and vulnerable, finding the right therapist can seem impossible. Where do I even start? How quickly will I be seen? What type of therapy is right for me? At Two Chairs, our licensed therapists work with you to understand your needs, goals, and preferences. Through a rigorous, data-driven approach backed by research and clinical expertise, we match you with the right therapist and type of therapy for your needs.

Starting therapy at Two Chairs is simple. You can book a matching appointment online or speak with someone on our Care Coordination Team by calling (415) 202-5159 anytime between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm PT, Monday through Friday.

Does Two Chairs offer both virtual and in-person therapy in Seattle?

Yes! Two Chairs offers hybrid care, which allows for a combination of virtual and in-person sessions for clients who are located near one of our clinics and would like the option to connect with their therapist in person. With hybrid care, our goal is to help each Two Chairs client find the right therapist and the right setting for therapy — whether that’s from the comfort of your home or in one of our beautiful clinics, including Seattle.

If you’re interested in starting hybrid care at Two Chairs, the first step is to book your Matching appointment, where you can let us know that you’re interested in hybrid care. Please note: All matching appointments and first therapy sessions at Two Chairs are held virtually.

Do I need therapy?

Therapy can help you improve your relationships with your family and friends, help you overcome fears and insecurities, cope with stress, and communicate effectively. For more information read our blog post on how to know if you need therapy.

Is Two Chairs in network with Aetna?

Yes, Two Chairs is in-network with most Aetna plans. To learn what costs your specific plan will cover, call Aetna Member Services. You can also learn more about pricing and insurance on our website.

Why is it so important to find the right therapist?

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is the best predictor of successful treatment outcome. Psychologists define the therapeutic alliance as the strength of the therapist and client relationship and how aligned you are on goals. Once you have developed a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist, studies show that individuals are more productive at work, have more fulfilled relationships, can cope more effectively with daily stressors, and engage in less risky behaviors.

What should I expect from a matching appointment?

When you schedule your matching appointment, you’ll tell us more about you and your preferences for therapy. During your virtual matching appointment, one of our licensed matching experts will dive deeper to understand what brings you to therapy, and will make sure we match you with the best therapist and right type of therapy for you. You can learn more about how Two Chairs helps you find the right therapist on our blog.

Can I choose my matching therapist?

Unfortunately, clients can not book with a specific matching therapist at this time. All of our matching therapists are licensed clinicians trained extensively in matching people to the therapist who’s right for them.
