Hi! I'm Dr. Black.

​I'm a psychiatrist specializing in psychotherapy (with or without medication management). My pronouns are they/them. I offer virtual or in-person appointments at my office in the Madison Valley neighborhood of Seattle, WA, and am in-network for most Regence, Premera, and First Choice insurance plans.​

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic. We often come to therapy seeking relief of daily stressors and symptoms, and this is usually the starting point of our work together. However, underneath these surface waves, there are deeper currents that often need to be explored and understood in order to heal and build a more meaningful life. Together, we will get curious about what is under the surface for you - your dreams, conflicting emotions, and past family and relationship dynamics. Exploring the unconscious helps us both understand the meaning underlying painful emotions and support your steps toward a life more aligned with your values.

For my training, I completed medical school at the University of Washington, general psychiatry residency at New York University, and child/adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the University of Washington/Seattle Children's. I was previously on the teaching faculty at the University of Washington Division of Child Psychiatry, and am now a candidate in psychoanalytic training at The Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. ​​​​​​
