Hi! I'm Dr. Black.

​I'm a psychiatrist specializing in psychotherapy (with or without medication management). My pronouns are they/them. I offer virtual or in-person appointments at my office in the Madison Valley neighborhood of Seattle, WA, and am in-network for most Regence, Premera, and First Choice insurance plans.

​

I currently have openings for psychoanalysis (3-4x/weekly) or psychodynamic therapy (1-2x/weekly). I do not have openings for standalone medication management. If you're interested in working together, fill out my contact form below or call me at 206-984-3924.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and relationship-based. I see therapy as a space to be both affirmed and challenged toward growth. We'll work together to understand how and why you get stuck, get to the root of how past experiences may still be causing you pain, and support you nonjudgmentally as you bring your day-to-day life more into alignment with your values.​​ 

For my training, I completed medical school at the University of Washington, general psychiatry residency at New York University, and child/adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the University of Washington/Seattle Children's. I was previously on the teaching faculty at the University of Washington Division of Child Psychiatry, and am now a candidate in psychoanalytic training at The Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. As a physician, I believe it is crucial to respect that you are the expert on yourself and your body. It's my goal to bring medical and psychiatric information to you in an accessible format so you can decide what treatment option is the best fit for you.​​​​​​
