Hi, I'm Angela, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I offer virtual psychiatric care to adults and adolescents in Washington State, with a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma.
As a holistic dual board certified mental health and family nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

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.
