Lycan Counseling is a 100% online mental health counseling practice serving clients in Washington State. We provide specialized services to youth and young adults via telehealth platforms. Lycan Counseling strives to provide accessible support to clients and works to build a comprehensive and diverse team of providers. 

We are not a “traditional” employer. In our practice, we value personal experience at least as much as professional training. Our team members are screened for lived experience as well as professional experience. We also believe in providing a safe and affirming space for all marginalized identities for both our team and our clients. 

Some people think that politics and personal beliefs “don’t belong at work” or “shouldn’t impact managerial decisions.” To an extent, we agree, and we certainly value differing perspectives and experiences. However, providing safe and effective care to our diverse clients - and providers - requires that we bring this to the forefront of our minds when deciding who will be a good addition to our team. Things like how we treat LGBTQIA+ or BBIPOC folks is not a matter of opinion in our work — it is a matter of safety and ethics. We believe we are ethically bound to consider our clients’ safety from the perspective of each team member they may encounter. For that reason, we may ask you questions you have not been asked before. 

Our interviews also tend to be less formal because knowing you as a person matters more to us than knowing your professional background. We believe that our own experiences guide the way we provide care. When we overcome hardship, we develop skills that help us to be understanding, resourceful, determined, empathetic, efficient, and more. 

We believe in working to create a diverse team and a cooperative work environment where we all succeed or fail together. You may be surprised to learn that we don’t have any employees in the traditional sense. Our provider team is made up of a range of providers who are working to build their own successful practices. Rather than be a “boss,” our supervisors provide support that is needed to be successful. We provide the business “know how” and the credentials they need to access the world of insurance. Our providers run their own businesses and we work together in a cooperative environment and support one another’s success. As an Admin team member, you will work with our entire team, providing services that support several small businesses through one platform.
