About Balanced Living Therapy LLC

A note from Balanced Living Therapy LLC

Maggie Gigi Ishaq, owner of Balanced Living Therapy LLC

Hi, I’m Maggie “Gigi” Ishaq, owner, supervisor, and therapist at Balanced Living Therapy LLC. I opened the practice here in Edmonds in 2012, and it’s still a small, locally owned business.

Over the years it has grown into a team of Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Substance Use Disorder Professionals (SUDPs), associate clinicians, and supervised graduate-level interns, most of whom live and work right here in the community.

We see kids, teens, adults, couples, families, and first responders for outpatient mental health therapy, and adults for outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use treatment.

We work with just about anyone who walks in the door. Some of what we’re known for is work with first responders, trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, substance use treatment, and helping people through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, burnout, and the transitions life hands us.

You can see us in person at our office or by telehealth, with morning and evening times so it can fit around work and school.

Welcome, we’re glad you found us.

Gigi

A few things we believe

  • We see people as human beings first.
  • Nobody should wait weeks to be seen.
  • People are shaped by life, relationships, and their environments.
  • We try to make care more accessible to the people those systems have made it hardest for.
  • Good therapists keep learning, so we train the next ones here.
