# Telehealth psychiatric care in Olympia, WA > Progressive Pathways Psychiatry offers psychiatric care by secure video in Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater, including reproductive mental health care through pregnancy, the postpartum months and perimenopause. **Source:** https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/olympia **Practice:** Progressive Pathways Psychiatry, 201 Amanda Ln, Unit 100, Waxahachie, TX 75165 **Phone:** (469) 523-2646 **Medically reviewed by:** Stacy Edosonmwan, PMHNP-BC, Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner **Last reviewed:** November 4, 2026 ## Quick answer Olympia residents aged 13 and older can get psychiatric care from Progressive Pathways Psychiatry by secure video, with a nurse practitioner licensed in Washington. Care includes evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for mood and anxiety, including care linked to pregnancy and other reproductive transitions. Each visit is joined from inside Washington. ## Care for Olympia residents Thurston County carries two federally designated mental health professional shortage areas, one covering the north of the county and one covering the south. In the capital region that means fewer appointments than people looking for them, particularly for specialized care such as reproductive psychiatry. Seeing a provider by video from Olympia, Lacey or Tumwater means not waiting for a local opening or driving up to Tacoma or Seattle. ## Reproductive transitions and mood Hormonal transitions can change mood in ways that surprise people: the weeks before a period, the months of pregnancy, the first year after birth, and the long run-up to menopause. [Reproductive psychiatry](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/reproductive-psychiatry-care) treats those changes as real medical problems with real treatments, rather than something to wait out. Care during pregnancy weighs every medication choice for both parent and baby. ## Worry that never switches off [Generalized anxiety](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/anxiety-disorders-treatment/generalized-anxiety-disorder) is not the same as being a worrier. It is worry that runs from waking to sleeping, jumps from topic to topic and leaves you tense and tired. It responds well to treatment, and treatment in Washington uses non-controlled options. ## Washington care at a glance - **Video visits only.** There is no Washington office.
