Who Do We Serve?
We can provide services to children, youth and families who are eligible for Medicaid and have symptoms that warrant a mental health diagnosis. We work with families to overcome past losses, recognize and honor their strengths, process struggles to build hope, courage and recovery.

Benefits of meeting at school include:
No transportation to and from therapy sessions
Able to meet in a familiar place
Able to quickly connect rather than wait several days or even weeks for an initial appointment.

Our licensed counselors are able to accept most insurance plans. In addition to the licensed therapists who will see students on site, Real Life Counseling will also have Master’s level counseling interns who will be providing additional support. Our interns can provide individual and group counseling as well as supporting students with skill building in identified target areas.

Washington's Mental Health Referral Service for Children and Teens
The goal of the MHRS program is to facilitate mental health referrals to children's and teens' mental health services, and other related resources, for parents and guardians with concerns related to the mental health of the parent or guardian's child or teen, regardless of insurance.
Any Washington family can use this FREE service. We make referrals for children and teens 17 and younger from across Washington. We connect families with evidence-supported outpatient mental health services in their community.
