Quick answer

People in the Tri-Cities aged 13 and up can see a Washington-licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner from Progressive Pathways Psychiatry over secure video. Appointments include psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management, scheduled around work and family, from home anywhere in Benton or Franklin County.

Care for the Tri-Cities residents

Benton and Franklin counties are one of the clearest examples of how thin psychiatric care is in central Washington. Both counties together form a single federally designated mental health professional shortage area, and the federal designation records a population-to-provider ratio of about 224,743 to 1. A video visit does not create more local providers, but it does mean that a Pasco resident no longer has to wait for one of the few local openings or drive to another region for an evaluation.

This page also covers Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland.

When shift work and sleep collide

Overnight and rotating shifts ask the body to sleep when everything in it wants to be awake. Over months, that mismatch can show up as insomnia, irritability, low mood or anxiety, and it is easy to treat each piece separately and miss the pattern. A psychiatric evaluation looks at the whole picture: when you sleep, how well, what your schedule demands, and how your mood moves with it.

One page for four cities

Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland share one regional crisis system, one set of county health services and, for most families, one daily commute pattern across the rivers. That is why they share one page here rather than four near-identical ones. Wherever you live in the Tri-Cities, the visit works the same way: a private room, a camera and a steady connection.

What Tri-Cities patients come in for

  • Sleep that shift work broke

    Rotating or overnight shifts can wreck sleep and mood together. Both are assessed, because treating one alone rarely fixes the other.

  • Depression and low mood

    Months of feeling flat, tired or hopeless deserve a proper evaluation rather than waiting for it to lift on its own.

  • Anxiety and panic

    Worry that crowds out everything else, or sudden panic attacks, treated with a plan and regular follow-up by video.

  • Second looks at old prescriptions

    Medications started years ago, sometimes by different prescribers, reviewed together to see what is still helping.
