Youth Eastside Services (YES)

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Kirkland is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Kirkland, 1.6 miles away.

They do video appointments, which matters if Redmond is a drive for you.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Redmond does.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Redmond has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
