Grace Hamilton, PSYD - Optum-Shoreline

The patient should be in partnership with their care providers. Healing occurs when the patient and provider listen carefully to one another, keep an open mind, and work together toward the same goal.

Each patient is an expert on their own experience, and every patient has their own unique needs and cultural frame of reference, I work jointly with the patient to develop manageable treatment goals.

I work collaboratively and flexibly with patients to help them make the changes they want in their lives. My approach is influenced by patient preferences and goals, as well as the particular problem at hand.
