Balanced Living Therapy, LLC is a licensed Behavioral Health Agency (BHA.FS.60874155) in Edmonds, Washington, a city on the Puget Sound north of Seattle. The practice is owned and operated by Maggie “Gigi” Ishaq and employs mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, substance use disorder professionals (SUDPs), associate clinicians, and supervised graduate-level interns.
Services include individual therapy for adults and adolescents, couples therapy for both committed and non-monogamous relationships, family therapy, and substance use counseling. Trauma-focused therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and substance use treatment are identified as core clinical strengths. Additional areas addressed include anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, burnout, and life transitions. The practice notes particular experience serving first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals in high-stress occupational environments, identifying these as populations it has developed specific expertise in supporting.
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and available in both in-person and telehealth formats. The practice offers flexible morning and evening scheduling to accommodate varied client availability. Office hours run Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with front desk hours from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Insurance accepted includes Apple Health, TRICARE, and commercial insurance plans. The practice states it can generally accommodate new clients without a significant wait, and no waitlist is mentioned for most incoming clients. A planned expansion of services in 2026 is noted to include ASAM Level 2.1 Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services and medication-assisted treatment support, though these offerings were not yet available at the time of the page content.
The practice’s licensing as a Behavioral Health Agency distinguishes it from solo private practices and positions it to serve clients with more complex or co-occurring needs, including those requiring both mental health and substance use services within a single coordinated treatment setting. The presence of supervised graduate-level interns also indicates an active training component alongside direct client services.
