ABOUT US

The Center for Relational and Family Therapy (CRAFT) is a collaborative of clinicians who practice integrative therapy within a relational framework. Our therapists understand the problems patients face in the context of the social world and relationships with others. We practice evidence-based approaches to therapy and our child clinical psychologists have received specialized training in child development and psychology.

​

Our team follows the best practices in our field that are described by the American Psychological Association, National Association of Social Workers, Washington Administrative Code for Psychologists and Social Workers and other specific ethics codes and guidelines. Each of these documents describe our responsibilities to you as your doctor or therapist. We also strive to foster the following values in our practice: Relationality, Craft, Care, and Context. In addition to reading more about these values here, talk to your therapist about what this means for you and your family.
