Thursdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm

Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention integrates mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral techniques to prevent relapse for people in recovery and/or struggling with any type of addiction.
 
Facilitators:
Carol Battistoni, MA, LMHC, and Jessica Harris, MA, LMHC are both licensed psychotherapists who practice mindfulness in their personal lives and clinical work. They are both mindfulness-based relapse prevention therapists for the University of Washington Addictive Behavior Research Center.

Office Space To Sublet

Beautiful office suite available September 1 in a fully renovated Art Deco building on 3rd and Stewart. The office suite itself is on the 9th floor, with sweeping views of the city. In the winter time, you can see the Macy’s tree lit up in colorful lights. It was renovated 2 years ago for the privacy needed for therapy and/or health related services. Walking into the suite is a fully furnished waiting room that is serene and comforting, with tea and water service. Off to the side is a kitchenette for personal use, with a copier/printer/scanner. There are two therapy offices, one in which I have successfully built my practice for the last two years. Therefore, referrals are strongly possible.

I’m looking for another therapist or health care professional who is ready to make a 6 month commitment to our beautiful office space. The rent is $628 with 24/7 access. The building is secured at night and weekends with a buzzer system. Other shared costs are for supplies which range around $20-30 per month (tea, paper, ink, etc.).
