Providers Outside of Our Clinics

Providers at community mental health centers and in private practice can diagnose and treat primary mental health issues. Below is a list of those diagnoses or conditions for which community resources are available to serve your child's needs. We have included links that may help you find appropriate help for your child.

• Patients who are covered only by DSHS/Medicaid and reside outside of King County can only be served if their county agency contracts with Seattle Children’s for services. Due to Medicaid requirements for mental health service provision within the county of residence, patients need to see a contracted provider in their county of residence.
