# Telehealth psychiatric care in Vancouver, WA > Progressive Pathways Psychiatry sees patients in Vancouver, Camas and Battle Ground by secure video, with a nurse practitioner licensed in Washington and appointments that fit around a commute across the river. **Source:** https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/vancouver **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 Vancouver, WA residents aged 13 and up can get psychiatric evaluation and medication management from Progressive Pathways Psychiatry by secure video. The provider is licensed in Washington, so each visit must start while you are in Washington. A visit from your Portland workplace is not possible, but one from home in Clark County is. ## Care for Vancouver, WA residents Vancouver sits inside the Portland metropolitan area, and many residents cross the Columbia every day for work. That shapes how telehealth works here more than anywhere else in the state: the Washington license covers you only while you are in Washington, so a lunch-break visit from a Portland office cannot happen. The federal government also designates a low-income mental health professional shortage area in southwest Clark County and a geographic shortage area across the north of the county. ## Living in Washington, working in Oregon The state line runs down the middle of the Columbia, and for telehealth it decides everything. Your appointment is legally a Washington visit only if you are in Washington when it happens, so the simplest plan is to book around your commute: before you cross, after you come home, or on a Saturday. If you are already in Portland when a visit is due, call the office to move it rather than joining from there. ## Pregnancy, birth and the months after Mood problems around pregnancy are common, and they are treatable. [Pregnancy and postpartum care](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/pregnancy-and-postpartum-care) covers depression and anxiety during pregnancy, after birth and while feeding, with medication choices weighed carefully for both parent and baby.

When can I have my visit? Book a time when you will be on the Washington side of the river, at home or anywhere else in the state. The visit cannot go ahead while you are in Oregon, because the license covers patients located in Washington. ### Do you see Oregon residents? Not from Oregon. Washington care is for people who are physically in Washington during each visit, so someone who lives in Portland cannot be seen from home. ### What is the crisis line for Clark County? The Southwest Washington crisis line, 1-800-626-8137, covers Clark County around the clock. 988 takes calls and texts at any hour too. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. ## Washington cities - [Spokane, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/spokane) - [Seattle, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/seattle) - [Tri-Cities, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/tri-cities) - [Tacoma, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/tacoma) - [Yakima, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/yakima) - [Bellingham, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/bellingham) - [Everett, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/everett) - [Federal Way, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/federal-way) - [Olympia, WA](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/washington-telehealth-psychiatry/olympia) ## Sources - Find shortage areas (Clark County mental health designations) (Health Resources and Services Administration). https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/shortage-area/hpsa-find - Mental health crisis lines by county (Washington State Health Care Authority). https://www.hca.wa.gov/free-or-low-cost-health-care/i-need-behavioral-health-support/mental-health-crisis-lines - Advisory opinion on telehealth for advanced practice nursing care (Washington State Board of Nursing). https://nursing.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2025-01/Telehealth-Advanced-Practice-Nursing-Care-Services-2025-01-21_2.pdf ## Related pages - [Anxiety treatment](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/anxiety-disorders-treatment) - [Pregnancy and postpartum care](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/pregnancy-and-postpartum-care) - [OCD treatment](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/anxiety-disorders-treatment/obsessive-compulsive-disorder) - [Depression treatment](https://www.pp-psychiatry.com/depression-treatment) --- This page is general health information, not medical advice.
