Local care
Mental health care in Tacoma and Pierce County
Many Pierce County residents travel north for specialty care. State transportation planners have described congestion on I-5 through the JBLM corridor as a daily occurrence, with about 118,000 vehicles a day. Telehealth lets you see a psychiatric provider from Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, or Gig Harbor without that trip.
We see military families and veterans connected to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, students at the University of Washington Tacoma and the University of Puget Sound, and families across Pierce County.
