Overview | FAQs

Mental attitudes and emotions are important elements in overall health and should be considered when treating illness and disease. As part of their holistic education, naturopathic physicians are trained in various counseling techniques. Our counseling department offers support for those dealing with depression, fatigue, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), work-related stress, relationship issues, life transitions, and health problems, particularly chronic health problems. If lifestyle changes have been suggested as part of your treatment in other departments at Bastyr center, counseling can be a valuable support.

Treatment usually consists of six to eight one-hour weekly counseling sessions. Student clinicians, closely supervised by a doctoral-level psychologist, oversee the sessions, and refer to outside services when appropriate.
