Virtual therapy for Tacoma families
Tacoma is often described as Seattle's more affordable neighbor — a city in its own right, with a growing arts community, significant military presence from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and families navigating the same housing and childcare pressures as the broader Puget Sound region, at slightly lower cost. For military families at JBLM, postpartum is shaped by deployments, frequent moves, and the need to build community from scratch in a new city. For civilian families in Tacoma's North End, Stadium District, and University Place, the challenge is more often the cost and logistics of finding specialized mental health care while managing a new baby. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to families throughout the Tacoma and South Sound area — including military and civilian parents — with sessions via secure video from home. We accept major insurance plans in Washington and have experience with TRICARE. Our therapists hold PMH-C certification and specialize in postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and the challenges specific to military families. Gig Harbor families can access the same care without the bridge toll.

What our clients say about their experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My emergency C-section left me with nightmares and panic attacks. I couldn't talk about the birth without shaking. Therapy helped me process the trauma and reclaim my story. I'm pregnant again now, and I actually feel ready.”
— expecting mom of 1
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had intrusive thoughts that terrified me. I was too ashamed to tell anyone, even my partner. My therapist explained postpartum OCD and helped me understand I wasn't dangerous. The intrusive thoughts are 90% gone now. I wish I'd reached out sooner.”
— mom of 2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“After three failed IVF rounds, I was told to 'just stay positive.' My therapist was the first person who acknowledged the grief, the anger, and the exhaustion — and helped me process what I'd been through. I finally felt seen.”
— hopeful mom

Common questions
- Yes. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to residents of Washington. Sessions are conducted via secure video from your home, office, or anywhere private — no commute required. All Phoenix Health therapists are licensed and authorized to practice in Washington.
- PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) is awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) to clinicians who have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health — covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.
- If you're struggling — with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping — that's enough of a reason to talk to someone. You don't need a diagnosis. A free consultation is a low-commitment first step.
