About Me

Welcome, and thank you for visiting! My name is Dr. Elizabeth Viney (née Koenig). I am a licensed psychologist in the Seattle metropolitan area providing assessment, treatment, and consultation services for children and adolescents. I have been licensed in Washington to practice psychology since 2013.

I have extensive experience with neurodevelopmental disabilities in children and adolescents. I have worked in a variety of settings, including schools and early intervention settings, hospitals, offices for persons with developmental disabilities, multidisciplinary clinics for autism evaluations, and in pediatric primary care offices. I have been practicing privately since 2019.

I enjoy providing evidence-based assessment and treatments for a variety of developmental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Though I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, my work focuses on serving children and young teens, ages 1-16.

When I am not working with families, I enjoy spending time outside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my two Bernese mountain dogs, hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. On rainy days, I can be found indoors with a good fantasy book and/or a pair of knitting needles.
