Wherever you are today, Pathlight Seattle -- Boren Ave. can provide the exact support you need. Our programs offer you or your loved one evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. We also offer specialized care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and substance use disorder (SUD) as a secondary diagnosis.

Partial hospitalization program

Participants in our PHP will:

• Participate in programming five or seven days a week. Programming typically lasts from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 5 days a week or 7 days a week. Our 5-day program allows you to practice skills at home or off-site on nights and weekends. Our 7-day program offers more intensive support with the opportunity to practice skills at night.
• Meet with therapists three times a week. This includes two individual sessions and one session with family members.
• Engage in group therapy. Our groups incorporate aspects of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Each group teaches unique skills, including:
  • Healthy boundaries skills
  • Self-compassion skills
  • Skills for managing shame and perfectionism
  • Food and mood connection skills, led by a registered dietitian
  • Life skills
  • Process groups
• Express yourself fully. Group therapy within our 7-day PHP includes LGBTQ+ and BIPOC groups, providing safe spaces for individuals to explore their identity authentically. Individuals attending our 5-day PHP who identify with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities are encouraged to seek connection and support outside of program hours and on weekends.
• Access additional experiences. We incorporate mindfulness and art therapies into our program. We also offer access to an on-site gymnasium for adult patients to safely practice movement without needing to leave the center.

Intensive outpatient program

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides the maximum level of flexibility to fit your busy schedule. Treatment typically takes place three days per week for three to four hours per day.
