For many people, managing their mental health may seem less important than keeping up with their physical health. However, it’s essential that we check in with ourselves in both ways in order to stay healthy. Receiving psychological care has a multitude of benefits that can positively impact an individual’s life long-term.
In this post, we’ll share what types of services Western Washington Medical Group psychologists provide; show you what to look for when wondering if it’s the right time to see a psychologist and direct you to a WWMG psychologist if you need assistance.
What do Psychologists treat?
Psychologists work with patients to:
- recognize behaviors that may cause issues in their lives
- diagnose and treat mental illnesses
- learn about and help solve problems.
The purpose of this work is to help patients navigate emotional issues, relieve stress, work through grief and assist with difficult relationships to improve the quality of life for the patient and those close to them who may be affected by their behaviors.

- General psychological evaluations (clinical and legal)

When it’s time to consult with a Psychologist
Psychologists can help with stress management, grief, gender identity, trauma processing, substance abuse, relationships, bipolar disorder, communication and assertiveness, depression and anxiety … but when is the right time to seek help?
