Latoya Henry-Morrison

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Washington


I am Latoya Henry-Morrison, a board-certified psychiatric mental health practitioner who is experienced in the management of patients with varying mental and behavioral health needs, from all ages and stages of development, all across the lifespan. My background as a professional registered Nurse has equipped me with the relevant prerequisites of being a nurturer, which I believe is one of the most important attributes that aids patients in achieving their individual health goals sooner. I am a compassionate, caring, and empathetic individual who strives to be a voice for the voiceless and advocate for those who need guidance towards gaining and sustaining optimal baseline health.

I currently have the privilege of working with and caring for patients from both the paediatric and adult population, who present with varying psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, bipolar, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia, to name a few, by utilizing scientifically based practices/ approaches. I wholeheartedly believe that mental health is cohesive with all other aspects of life and thus examines the patient's environmental, social, emotional, and situational health to appropriately guide them in sustaining and obtaining holistic well-being

Hello, my name is Miguel A. Diaz and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I was born and raised in rural South Texas, which gives me a deep understanding of the unique challenges our local communities face when it comes to mental health care.

I specialize in providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My practice focuses on increasing access to care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, especially those living in underserved rural areas.

I welcome you to reach out and take that first step toward improving your well-being.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma

Finding psychiatrists in Tacoma starts with knowing what kind of care you want to search for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your prescriber. People may look for psychiatry support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or other mental health concerns. As you compare Tacoma psychiatrists, look for listed specialties, clinical focus areas, and experience that match your needs.

In a mid-size city like Tacoma, your options may include psychiatrists near neighborhoods like Hilltop, Proctor, Stadium District, and nearby areas, along with virtual appointments across Washington. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so schedule, availability, and follow-up cadence can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s approach, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Tacoma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you search Tacoma psychiatry options by insurance, availability, appointment type, and focus area. You can review psychiatrists and other prescribers who are accepting new patients with your plan, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
