Who We See in Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley’s manufacturing, distribution and retail employers along I-90 employ many of our patients here, often on early or rotating shifts. We also see families in the growing neighborhoods out toward Liberty Lake and Greenacres, where a psychiatry appointment usually means a drive into Spokane and a long wait.
Many residents work or shop across the state line in Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene, which matters for telehealth: you need to be in Washington when the visit starts. Plenty of patients simply schedule visits for home or for days when they’re not crossing into Idaho.

- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
