Support for Grief, Loss,
Couples & Individuals
Arlene Thomas Counseling
Initial Consult
Finding the right fit in a therapist is one of the most important aspects of starting counseling. To help with this, I offer a 20 minute phone consult, at no charge. During this call, I can answer questions you might have about me, my practice, or what you are hoping to address in counseling.
Grief and Loss
Grief-whether it is through the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or the loss of a dream- can feel overwhelming and sometimes lonely.
Grief counseling can offer a space to sort through emotions and find ways of honoring your experiences of loss, while also considering ways of moving forward without feeling like you need to "move on".
Individual Therapy
You don't have to figure life out on your own!
Individual therapy can provide the intentional time and space to safely process experiences, with the help of someone who is outside of your day to day life. This "outsider" perspective can help you both organize your thoughts and come up with a plan to better live your life.
Perinatal Loss & Infertility
Healing after a perinatal loss or coping with fertility issues is often an isolating experiences.
I know how powerful it can be to feel "known" and understood, while finding ways to heal as well as navigating healthcare.
My hope is to provide a safe space for clients in need of this support.
Online Telehealth
I offer online Telehealth video sessions through a convenient and HIPAA compliant platform. This can be especially useful for clients who might have a difficult time coming into the office and/or or difficulty finding a therapist who is a good fit in their area. Telehealth services are only offered to clients in the State of Washington.
Premarital & Couples Therapy
Relationships are vital, so it is important to take care of them. Whether you are in a rough spot in your relationship or want to do the preventative work of keeping your relationship healthy, couples counseling can help.
I am also a certified facilitator for the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment tool.

Although I am an Out of Network Provider with insurance plans, I am happy to submit claims on behalf of clients who would like to utilize their Out of Network benefits. If preferable, I can provide an invoice that you can submit directly to your insurance company for possible reimbursement of services.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Washington, I meet the standards for most insurance plans as an Out of Network provider. I recommend calling your insurance provider to determine your specific benefits including:
outpatient mental health benefits
requirements of deductible or copay
whether or not a referral or authorization is needed
the number of sessions covered per year
Please note that Couples Therapy is not covered by insurance.
If you have questions about this, I am happy to address these.
If you are uninsured or will not be using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
