General Practice Area: Psychological evaluations (psych eval) of adolescents or adults for the court and probation.

In such cases it is considered possible that the defendant has some psychological or psychiatric condition that contributed to the offense or may have created a mental impairment.

Steve Call Ph.D. (425) 753-3547
Licensed Psychologist
1715 114th Ave SE, Suite 208, Bellevue, WA 98004
Location: Bellefield Office Park
General Practice Area: General Practice Area: I work primarily with adolescents, adults and couples. The focus of therapy depends upon your needs; therefore therapy is a collaborative effort and exchange. I see clients that are experiencing anxiety and distress as a result of life changes. Much of my work in couples and marriage counseling is helping create effective communication patterns. I utilize a family systems perspective which is based on the assumption that how we think, feel, and behave is largely dependent on our role and position in our family system. We will often process your thoughts and feelings about relationship problems, both now and in the past and how they relate to your current behaviors, choices and life experiences. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies as needed. [ Email Steve Call ]

Jessica Miller MA LMHCA (206) 518-1098
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
1309 114th Ave SE, Suite #104, Bellevue, WA 98004
Niche Specialty©: Women's Issues. I welcome the opportunity to counsel both women and men. In this, I do maintain a focus and active interest in women's issues. I believe that depression, anxiety, body image issues etc. do tend to express their symptoms differently in women and men and should be treated uniquely. My life experiences, both personally and professionally have fully equipped me to treat these issues as they apply specifically to women and men and I look forward to meet your needs as they arise.
Location: Bellefield Office Park
General Practice Area: My therapy practice comes from a belief that humans operate in ways that are relational at their deepest levels. Often our greatest joys and deepest sorrows arise from the presence or loss of fundamental relationships. I believe therapeutic work occurs both in the examination of past events which have led to current unhappiness and in the active dynamics in the relationship presently happening between therapist and patient.
Additionally, I practice from a perspective that encourages individuals to believe in the authentic person that exists within. Often our internal compass becomes offset by social constructs, politics, religion, family obligations/expectations etc. We are expected to be what we are not, and told to not be what we are, instead of ourselves. Together, our goal continues as we work to reveal the internal voice within, examining and removing the obstacles keeping it mute.
My psychological training is in Psychodynamic, Existential, Jungian and Relational approaches. My experience working with children and adolescents provided me with skills in Dialectical Behavioral techniques as well. The majority of my clientele are high functioning individuals coming to a crossroads in life, unable to handle current or past struggles or traumas, grieving the loss of someone close, or working to handle difficult transitions. We will work together on the burdens carried and create a personal process meant to address your individual needs.
