About Valley Health
Whole-person care, grounded in the Yakima Valley.
Substance use treatment, mental health care, and primary care — built on one promise: we measure success in outcomes, and we remove the barriers standing between people and recovery.
Why we exist
Value-based care, even when insurance isn't.
Valley Health and Counseling was started to treat substance use disorder, mental health, and primary care on a value-based model. Insurance pays visit by visit, but that has never changed what we drive home: success is measured in whether people get better — not in how many appointments they attend.
How do we practice that? We reduce barriers and increase access — to services and to resources. We will do everything we can to remove barriers to treatment, because barriers to treatment are excuses to quit.
The two biggest relapse inducers we see are funding for housing and finding a job. So we work to secure housing funding and help people find work — food on the table and a safe place to sleep dramatically improve the odds in early recovery. We also provide transportation to and from appointments and the other destinations in a treatment plan. Reducing barriers reduces excuses — and gives people the chance to show up and learn, consistently. That's where recovery happens.
What guides the work
Clear standards. Respectful care.
We aim to make every interaction clinically responsible, practical, and free of judgment.
Evidence-informed
Clinicians use established practices and professional judgment, then track how care is working.
Integrated
Behavioral, medical, and practical needs can be coordinated around one plan.
Barrier-removing
Help securing housing funding, finding work, and getting rides to appointments — because showing up consistently is half the fight.
Accessible
We offer Spanish-language assistance, telehealth where eligible, and a sliding fee scale.
Accountable
Expectations, documentation, privacy boundaries, and next steps should be clear.
