Washington patients who come to MHMATTERS365 most commonly need evaluation and treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions.

How Telehealth PMHNP Appointments Work in WashingtonHow Telehealth PMHNP Appointments Work in Washington

Before your first appointment, you receive a secure link by email or text. At the appointment time, you click the link, allow camera access, and connect directly to your provider. No downloads or special software are required — the session opens in any standard web browser.

You need a device with a working camera (phone, tablet, or laptop), a stable internet connection, and a private space. That is the complete technical requirement.

The initial evaluation runs 60 to 90 minutes and covers your full clinical history — developmental background, family mental health history, current symptoms, and how those symptoms affect daily functioning. Follow-up appointments are shorter and depend on your membership plan. The same provider — Vernisha Chambers Douglas, PMHNP-BC, or Jerrika Myles, PMHNP-BC — conducts every appointment.

Washington state law permits psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management via telehealth. All prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy in Washington.

Self-pay patients access care through our concierge membership plans, starting at $50 per month.
