Adult Mental- Health & Substance- Use Disorder Treatment

The Power of Art Therapy:
Short Film Featuring SOUND’s Therapeutic Drama Group Selected for SIFF 2025 Showcase

The Little Prince, a short film about SOUND’s therapeutic drama group for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities was selected to premiere at the 2025 Seattle International Film Festival as part of the shorts package, Sound Visions! We are honored this intimate short about expression, trust and the transformation that happens when creativity meets care has been recognized by SIFF.

In the U.S., many people experience mental-health needs each year, and for some, substance use is part of that experience. Seeking support is an act of strength and everyone deserves access to care that honors their experiences and their story.

At SOUND, we offer compassionate, medically necessary mental-health and substance-use-disorder treatment services, providing whole-person care that respects your experiences and your goals. Our services are designed to support people across a wide range of needs, from situational stress and life transitions to more ongoing or complex behavioral-health needs, always centered on dignity, emotional and physical safety, choice, and collaboration.

“Medically necessary” means that the services you receive are recommended by a behavioral-health professional because they help prevent, diagnose, or treat a mental-health or substance-use condition, support your safety or functioning, and reflect the most appropriate level of care for your needs.

We support people who may be navigating experiences such as:

• Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic experiences, such as hearing or seeing things others may not.

• Depression and persistent low mood, including changes in energy, motivation, or interest.

• Anxiety-related experiences, such as worry, panic, or a sense of overwhelm.

• Gender-affirming care for gender incongruence.

• Trauma and stress-related responses, including experiences of domestic violence, sexual violence, community violence, or other forms of harm.

• Substance-use and addiction-related experiences.

• Bipolar-related mood experiences, such as changes in energy, activity, and mood.

• Neurodevelopmental needs, such as attention, learning, or sensory-related needs.

• Personality-related patterns and experiences that affect relationships or daily life.

• Dissociative experiences, such as feeling detached from one’s body or surroundings.

• Obsessive-compulsive experiences (OCD), including intrusive thoughts or repetitive patterns.

• Impulse- or behavior-regulation experiences, such as difficulty managing emotions or actions.

SOUND provides a full range of recovery-oriented outpatient behavioral-health services for King County residents, with both in-person and telehealth options available so you can access care in ways that feel safe, accessible, and supportive for your life and your needs.
