Finding a psychologist in Seattle can mean anything from a solo talk-therapy practice to a specialised clinic running TMS treatment for depression, and the difference matters before you book. Between them these practices have logged over 265 Google reviews, and the ratings span a real range, from 4.2 up to 4.9, which is worth reading closely rather than assuming any name at the top is automatically the right fit.

Short answer: SeattleNTC leads on volume with 112 reviews at a 4.6 rating, a psychiatry practice known for TMS treatment alongside general psychiatric care. Self Space Downtown holds the highest rating at 4.9 across 69 reviews for individual, couples and group therapy. Seattle Anxiety Specialists (4.6, 62 reviews) combines psychiatry and psychology under one roof.

Our take: The most-reviewed name here and the only one offering TMS specifically, but the volume of detailed complaints about scheduling and communication means it's worth asking pointed questions about response times before committing to a treatment course.

Self Space (Downtown)

4.969 Google reviews

Self Space Downtown offers individual, couples and group therapy from a small team of licensed therapists, with a low-cost therapy programme for clients who may not be able to afford full-price sessions. The practice matches each client to a therapist suited to their specific goals rather than a one-size-fits-all intake, and keeps unusually wide hours across the week, including weekend slots.

What people praise

  • Practice culture described as ethically owned and genuinely care-focused rather than transactional
  • Clients describe feeling treated as a whole person, without rushing or judgment
  • Low-cost therapy option widens access for clients on a tighter budget
  • Wide operating hours including weekends

Worth knowing

  • Smaller practice, so availability may be more limited than a larger group

Our take: The combined psychiatry-and-psychology model here is useful if you might need both medication management and ongoing talk therapy without coordinating between two separate practices.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each practice. Review volume shows how many clients actually left a rating, and higher volume counts as stronger evidence over time. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, so a perfect score on a small sample carries less weight than a strong score across dozens of reviews. Recency checks how current the reviews are. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does seeing a psychologist cost in Seattle?

Session costs in Seattle vary by whether a provider accepts insurance, offers a sliding scale, or charges a flat private-pay rate. Self Space specifically mentions a low-cost option as part of its model, so it’s worth asking about your specific coverage or budget during the first call.

Serving all of Seattle

These practices are spread across downtown Seattle and Madison Valley. If you’re searching for a psychologist near me from Capitol Hill or Ballard, most of these practices also offer telehealth sessions, so an in-person commute isn’t always required, especially for an initial consultation.

What to ask before choosing a psychologist

  • Do you accept my insurance, or is this a private-pay practice?
  • What’s your typical approach or therapeutic style?
  • Is telehealth available alongside in-person sessions?
  • How does the practice handle a mismatch if I don’t click with my first provider?
  • What’s the billing process, and can I see a sample statement?
  • Do you offer medication management, or purely talk therapy?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these psychologists?

We pulled real Google Business Profiles for psychologists and mental health practices across Seattle and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently clients left reviews.

Which of these practices offer medication management?

SeattleNTC and Seattle Anxiety Specialists both offer psychiatric medication management alongside or instead of talk therapy.

What is TMS treatment?

TMS is a non-medication treatment for depression offered by SeattleNTC. It’s worth discussing directly with a psychiatrist whether it’s an appropriate option for your specific situation.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically to keep ratings and review counts current.

The bottom line

Self Space Downtown holds the strongest rating here and a wide range of formats, making it a solid starting point for most individual needs. If psychiatric medication or TMS is part of what you’re looking for, Seattle Anxiety Specialists or SeattleNTC are worth calling first, though ask SeattleNTC pointed questions about scheduling before committing.
