Getting to know Christopher Paton

I'm a Seattle-based psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience. My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, where you are met with unconditional positive regard in a space that's affirming, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults across the lifespan and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures. I'm especially passionate about supporting members of the queer, LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kink communities. Whether you're facing anxiety, going through a life transition, exploring your identity, or simply looking for a space to feel truly heard - you're not alone. Together, we can explore what healing and self-discovery can look like for you. I do write secondary letters for those seeking gender affirming surgeries. I consider this an essential service to the trans and gender diverse community. My style as a therapist is laid-back but engaged - I'm not a blank wall. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real relationship, grounded in trust, respect, and genuine care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
