Hi! I'm Dr. Black.
I am a psychiatrist with a psychotherapy practice based out of the Madison Valley neighborhood in Seattle, WA. I trained at the University of Washington School of Medicine and New York University Psychiatry Residency, and am currently a candidate in psychoanalysis at The Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I specialize in therapy for adults and older adolescents (with or without medication management). I use they/them pronouns.
My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and relational. I see therapy as a space to be both affirmed and challenged toward growth. We'll work together to understand how and why you get stuck, get to the root of how past experiences may still be causing you pain, and support you nonjudgmentally as you build new behaviors that align with who you are.
At this time, my practice has openings for weekly or twice-weekly therapy (with or without medication management) for adults. I do not have openings for medication management only. I am in-network for most Regence, Premera, and FirstChoice plans.
Services Offered
Psychodynamic Therapy
Individual therapy, weekly or twice a week. I work from an intersectional, anti-oppression lens.
Areas of specialty include LGBTQIA+ identity affirmation, burnout and life transitions, anxiety, and religious trauma.
Medication Management
For clients in therapy with me, I offer consultation to start psychiatric medications. I also support clients interested in deprescribing from a complex medication regimen.
