Who We See in Federal Way
Federal Way is a commuter city. Many residents work in Seattle, Tacoma, at Sea-Tac Airport or in the Kent Valley warehouses, and long days on the road leave little room for appointments. The arrival of light rail has made the commute easier for some, but a midday psychiatry visit still means lost work hours. Video visits fit around those schedules.
Federal Way is also one of the most diverse cities in Washington, with large Korean, Ukrainian, Latino and Pacific Islander communities. We see many first- and second-generation immigrant adults who prefer a private video visit from home. Visits are conducted in English, and a family member is welcome to join.

- Anxiety and panic attacks
