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 Yakima

Searching for therapists in Yakima starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.

In a smaller city like Yakima, local therapist availability may be more limited than in larger Washington markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns that matter to you.

Therapy in Yakima can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and have availability for new clients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs upfront, browse therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

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