Valley Health service
Counseling
Counseling offers a steady place to understand what is happening, practice new skills, and move through change with support from a licensed professional.
Who this is for
Care matched to the need.
Counseling may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, family conflict, trauma, major transitions, or the emotional work that accompanies recovery.
Care is available in person in Yakima and by secure telehealth for eligible clients in Washington. Ask intake about current clinician availability and coverage.
What to expect
A plan you can understand.
Specific schedules, eligibility, and recommendations are confirmed during intake and assessment. Your plan can change as your needs change.
-
A good-fit conversation
We begin with what you want help with and what would make counseling feel useful.

You and your counselor identify priorities and revisit them as life changes.

Evidence-based care
Your therapist selects approaches that fit your needs, preferences, and circumstances.

With appropriate authorization, counseling can coordinate with psychiatric and medical care.
