Seattle Anxiety Specialists

I cannot speak more highly of Seattle Anxiety Specialists. This practice is comprised of incredibly seasoned, personable, and knowledgeable professionals who take a comprehensive approach to mental health. I had the pleasure of interning with Research Director, Dr. Jennifer Smith, who puts her utmost effort into the public resources side of the company as demonstrated by the holistic and fruitful nature of the website. Through magazine articles, encyclopedia entries, and interview series, Seattle Anxiety Specialists makes mental health education highly accessible to the general public. Their research program has given me valuable insights I will cary with me for the rest of my life. This accessibility of education coupled with real psychiatric/therapeutic care gives this practice a unique edge in the mental health industry.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in the research educational program at Seattle Anxiety Specialists! I learned various skills, such as writing and interviewing techniques, that will help me in my future careers. I also genuinely enjoyed the community---I had the privilege of learning from several psychologists on the team, and I was continuously blown away by their breath and depth of knowledge. The people were also some of the most kind and loving humans I've ever met--I wouldn't trade this experience for the world.

I met Blake Thompson, the executive director of Seattle Anxiety Specialists, early in his career. Blake is a thoughtful and empathetic individual who brings a keen and curious mind to every situation he faces. Over the years, he has been a helpful sounding board and resource for me as I developed my own mental health practice. I am certain that Blake brings that same energy and compassion to the running of Seattle Anxiety Specialists and to his work with his own clients.
