Our Mission

Seeking to express God’s love and compassion, Samaritan Center of Puget Sound offers hope for wholeness to individuals, couples, families, groups and congregations through affordable professional services including counseling, consultation, education, and training.

Our Commitment
We dedicate ourselves each day to make this a more peaceful, just and compassionate world – one intentional, healing encounter at a time.

Our Values
For more than 60 years, Samaritan Center of Puget Sound has been a regional leader in providing mental health services. We have built a reputation on depth of experience, ongoing professional training, and a commitment to affordable, accessible care. Our clinicians are at the forefront of the field, with a focus on counseling that is relational, welcoming, and spiritually grounded.

With a clinical staff of approximately 30 counselors, we serve a wide range of ages — couples and families as well as individuals. Our therapists see hundreds of clients a week throughout the State of Washington, both in-person and remotely, many at reduced fees. Beyond counseling, we offer psychological testing and assessment, continuing education and training for working therapists, and workshops for the general public.

We are:

  • Holistic
    We believe healing takes place on many levels – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual – and in many ways – individually, relationally and in communities.
  • Faith-Respecting
    We are an ecumenical Christian community that respects the beliefs of all people.
  • Responsive
    We search for ways to care for those among us who are in financial need, making our services affordable and accessible.
  • Accountable
    We are committed to excellence in all that we do, and we are faithful stewards of the resources given to us.
  • Authentic
    We strive to be honest, self-aware and transparent in our work with others and in our community life.
  • Inclusive
    We recognize that each person is created in the image of God and that we need one another’s diversity. We welcome all people in a spirit of compassion and justice.
  • Forward-looking
    We are innovative, attentive to life’s opportunities and grounded in faith – ready to meet the challenges of this mission.
