Mental Health Resources
Finding a therapist
We recognize that finding a therapist can be hard. Many have waitlists or different financial eligibility/payment plans. Because of this, we recommend speaking with your pedestrian to see if there are in-network or partnered therapists available.
Another useful tool is psychologytoday.com. Here you can add multiple filters while viewing a small bio and credentials of available therapists.
Additionally, you can view more local resources with the SPS Resource List

Who is your School Counselor?
Hello Students & Families
My name is Chelsea Bogrow and I am your School Counselor. I have been with Seattle Public Schools since the 22-23 school year. I split my time between two K-8's and love being able to work with all grades! I am a California native, but after completing all my schooling in Seattle, I loved it so much I decided to stay forever. When I'm not at work, you can find me hanging out with my kitty cats or on the hunt for the best iced half sweet hazelnut oatmilk latte Seattle has to offer.
