Frequently Asked Questions

What is Joon therapy like?

After signing up, you’ll receive an email introducing you to a dedicated therapist who specializes in helping young adults, along with a few  dates and times for your first session based on your preferences.  

🎉 Most Joon clients show significant improvement in 12 weeks!

Do I need to tell my parents?
In a perfect world, parents and their children would be able to talk openly about mental health concerns and solutions.

As this is not the case for many young people today, it’s up to you whether you want to include your parents in your Joon therapy journey in any way. If you do choose to involve them, what you say 1-1 to your therapist is still confidential.

Who is paying for my therapy?
The City of Seattle is covering the full cost of Joon therapy sessions through December 31, 2026—no copays, no fees, and no insurance required.

As long as you’re 13–24 and either live in Seattle or attend a Seattle-based school, you qualify for this city-funded mental health program. This means your sessions with a Joon therapist are completely free from start to finish. Please note, the City of Seattle will only cover up to (2) no-show appointments or late cancellations (<24 hrs).
