The Week Ahead @ SAC

Hello Sacajawea families.

During this difficult time, youth and families may need more support. Mental health is a key factor in a youth's well being. Valley Cities can help a youth dealing with new difficulties, youth that have increased symptoms, and families that need support with behavior and interaction patterns. Todd Petrowski is the school based clinician at Sacajawea Middle School. Todd's focus for mental health counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT looks closely at how we think and act in order to overcome both behavioral and emotional difficulties. Valley Cities is able to provide therapy at the Valley Cities Federal Way clinic. To reduce barriers and maintain safety, he is also available through telehealth via video or by phone. Todd is able to assist with managing the student's behaviors at home along with common concerns such as anxiety and depression. At Sacajawea, Valley Cities has a contract to be able to provide services that do not require insurance and copays, making this service accessible to more youth and families. If you would like to discuss support, please call Todd Petrowski at 206-572-0493. We look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely, Valley Cities Federal Way
