Who We See in Kent
Many of our Kent patients work night and swing shifts in warehouses, distribution centers and aerospace plants. Irregular sleep, anxiety and depression feed into each other, and it’s easy to let treatment slide when appointments only happen during business hours. Short video follow-ups make it realistic to stay on track.
Kent is also one of the most diverse cities in the state, with large East African, Eastern European, South Asian and Pacific Islander communities. We see many immigrant and refugee adults, and we provide psychiatric evaluations for immigration cases by telehealth. Visits are conducted in English. Students at Green River and Highline colleges are welcome too.

- Anxiety and panic attacks
