Therapy for Pilots in Washington State:
Confidential, Strategic Mental Health Support.
If you're a pilot, you know pressure. You've trained to perform in high-stakes environments, to stay focused under extreme conditions, and to carry responsibility that others may not fully understand. But when it comes to seeking therapy, many pilots in Washington State hesitate and are worried about how getting help might impact their FAA medical certification, professional reputation, or flight status.
At Healing Harbor, we understand these concerns, and we provide therapy that’s specifically designed with pilots in mind.
Pilot-Savvy Mental Health Care
I'm Chelsey Tschosik, LICSW, a licensed therapist and military-informed clinician who specializes in working with high-performing professionals like pilots, veterans, and first responders. I offer confidential, informed care that respects the unique demands of aviation and ensures your personal and professional goals are always in view.
Whether you're flying commercial, private, or military aircraft, your well-being matters. You shouldn’t have to choose between mental health and career readiness.
Confidential and Strategic Therapy for Pilots
At Healing Harbor, we do things differently. I provide:
Confidential, judgment-free therapy that prioritizes discretion and trust.
Strategic documentation: notes that highlight your strengths and resilience while meeting state and ethical standards.
No diagnoses necessary: just thoughtful, grounded support.
Clear, calm strategies to manage stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue.
Executive function coaching and practical tools to support sharp decision-making, focus, and work-life balance.
Therapy That Won’t Ground Your Career
Pilots often ask, “Will therapy affect my FAA medical clearance?” The truth is nuanced. While specific diagnoses and medications can raise flags, therapy in itself does not automatically jeopardize your certification—especially when it’s approached with awareness and care.
I collaborate with clients to navigate these concerns wisely, using a mission-aligned approach that considers both mental health and professional readiness. If you're worried about documentation, FAA disclosure, or what to say to your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), we’ll tackle those questions together—so you can get the support you need without the guesswork.
Real Help for the Real-World Stress You Carry
From fatigue and sleep issues to perfectionism, isolation, or the aftermath of high-intensity events—pilots carry a mental load most people don’t see. Therapy can be a safe harbor to decompress, reflect, and rebuild.
My role isn’t to clip your wings. It’s to help you fly further, with more balance, clarity, and confidence.
