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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Tacoma, WA

Searching for couples therapists in Tacoma starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling can support concerns like communication breakdowns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.

In Tacoma, finding one therapist who works for both partners often means balancing location, schedule, appointment format, and therapy style. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near Tacoma, while others use virtual appointments to add more scheduling options. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit both calendars, and provide a brief consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist structures couples sessions and whether their communication style feels aligned.

Couples therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
