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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Tacoma starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming, not just clinically relevant. An affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, relationships, gender exploration, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities in their listed specialties and bios.

Tacoma has a steady network of mental health therapists, but the number of therapists with explicit LGBTQIA+ experience may vary by availability, specialty, and neighborhood. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want a therapist outside your immediate area or need more scheduling flexibility. In addition to specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their profile gives a clear sense of their communication style, approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, couples, and families.

Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Tacoma who are accepting new clients, review detailed bios, check your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
