Yakima Valley Memorial Outpatient Psychiatric Services treats adult patients for a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. Appointments are held in our office using HIPAA compliant video-conference technology with our providers who are located off-site. Our staff will collaborate with the patient, the patient's primary care physician and the patient's family in identifying the causes of distress and developing a plan to resolve those problems. The staff will then help patients to carry out those plans.
