Hi, I’m Micah, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a decade of overall healthcare experience across the lifespan—from pediatric care to hospice care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders, and I believe care should feel like a real conversation—not a lecture. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and yes... we can laugh a little along the way too. Whether you’re starting fresh or picking yourself back up, I’m here to help you feel more like you again.

Stephanie Geiger

Stephanie Geiger

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.

Kaitlyn Wyatt

Kaitlyn Wyatt

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Washington


I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe good mental health care starts with an actual conversation—not a checklist, a quick prescription, and a "see you in three months."

Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent over a decade working in emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing. That experience taught me that what's happening with your mental health rarely exists in a vacuum. Your physical health, hormones, relationships, stress, and everyday life all deserve a seat at the table.

I have a particular passion for helping women navigate ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, depression, PMDD, perimenopause, and those wonderfully complicated seasons of life when everything seems to be changing at once.

My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, and collaborative. I'm not here to throw medications at symptoms and cross my fingers. I'm here to ask thoughtful questions, connect the dots, explain your options, and help you find a treatment plan that actually fits your life.

You can expect honest conversations, education without the medical jargon, a little humor when the moment calls for it, and absolutely no judgment. Most importantly, you'll always have a voice in your care. You're the expert on your lived experience, and my job is to bring the clinical expertise to help you make informed decisions.

Because you deserve more than someone who listens just long enough to write a prescription. You deserve someone who truly listens.

Find the right therapist 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 Washington

Searching for therapists in Washington starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Washington therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Location and format can also shape your search. If you live near Seattle, Spokane, or Tacoma, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand access across other parts of Washington. Consider whether you prefer meeting in an office, meeting virtually, or having both options available. It can also help to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can give you a clearer sense of each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of therapy in Washington can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans. You can browse therapists, review profiles, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

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