Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Washington rather than a city like Seattle?

When looking for online care, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available providers across Washington from Spokane to Tacoma! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a provider near you in Washington.

Will my provider take AvMed?

Yes! If you use AvMed you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have AvMed you can select cash. Our providers will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a provider that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online provider. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with providers after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online providers for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our providers.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
