Hello and Welcome! I am Barton Sloan and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alaska. I moved to Washington in August of 2015 from Anchorage, Alaska. I began my career in Anchorage in 1988 after graduating with my MSW in California, where I grew up. I started with an Employee Assistance Program, and then worked at a psychiatric hospital before going into private practice full time in 1999.  

I am experienced in working with adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples for a variety of issues. Although I am adept at various forms of therapy, I primarily practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and weave other modalities into this. I have a great deal of experience working with trauma, attachment, depression; anxiety, panic, dissociation; chemical dependency, anger management, stress reduction; chronic pain, and migraine headaches. Whatever the issue, I focus on healing.  My goal is for my clients to heal from whatever has troubled them, and for them to leave therapy with a stronger sense of self and well-being. 

I am a therapist who likes to get to the point and achieve the goals that have been set within an atmosphere where my clients feel heard, understood, and safe.

Please call (907) 250-9477 or email bsloanlcsw@icloud.com for an appointment.

My fee is $200.00 for a 50 minute session. You are responsible for your deductible and copay. The deductible for counseling is normally part of your medical deductible. For example, if your insurance covers at 80%, your copay would be $40.00.

Insurance

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible and has it been met?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?
