ESA Letters
In general, I don't advise writing ESA letters for your clients, unless you've gotten specific training to be able to do this type of specific evaluation so you can fully understand your responsibilities and be aware of the laws around this issue.
Local (WA-based) Resources:
There are very few local/WA-based therapists that offer this type of support. They might require that the client is currently under their care, which could result in the client needing to end services with you. If you know of other resources, please send them my way!
Serene Pathways Psychotherapy
Kaila Mitchell Counseling
WWU Student Health Center (if your client is a current Western student)
National Resources:
These resources might do their own assessment - or might require the client to verify that they are under the care of a therapist. If your client needs documentation and has no other options, these organizations might be their best alternative.
