Joon (https:/lwww.joon.com/) provides accessible therapy for teens and young adults (13-24 year olds) in WA through their own app, which includes face-to-face therapy sessions, as well as skill building through the app, and monthly parent check-ins. This is a great option for families and youth who may find in-person therapy to be daunting or not feasible.

**The Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Joon, Dr. Amy Mezulis, was my PhD advisor throughout graduate school. I worked for Joon as a therapist throughout graduate school and can speak to the quality of care that is provided.
