Sound Choice Mental Health: Compassionate, Psychiatric Led Care in Lacey & Olympia, WA Sound Choice Mental Health is more than just a clinic. It’s a place of healing, collaboration, and compassionate care for the people of Lacey, Olympia, and the greater South Puget Sound region. We are a psychiatrist-led team of therapists, nurse practitioners, and support staff dedicated to improving the mental health and quality of life of adolescents and adults in our community. Who We Are Founded and led by a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Sound Choice Mental Health was created with one central mission: to provide evidence-based, patient-focused care that truly makes a difference. Unlike large corporate clinics that can feel impersonal, we pride ourselves on offering a local, community driven approach where patients feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. We believe mental health care should be accessible, individualized, and compassionate. Each member of our team shares a deep commitment to helping people find balance and resilience. We combine the knowledge and structure of psychiatry with the warmth and personal connection of therapy, ensuring that every patient receives care tailored to their unique needs. What We Offer Sound Choice Mental Health provides a full spectrum of mental health services for both adolescents and adults, including: Psychiatry & Medication Management: Careful evaluation and personalized prescriptions for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric concerns. We monitor medications closely, making adjustments as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Therapy & Counseling: Our team of therapists offers exceptional therapy sessions designed to provide a safe space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. With specialized training and years of experience, we use evidence-based approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), trauma-informed care, Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), Dialect Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Brain Spotting, Acceptance and Comitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems, (IFS), mindfulness strategies, as well as multiple other techniques. We are all very passionate in our continued education so we may offer the best to our clients. Specialty Treatments: We are proud to be a certified provider of Spravato® (esketamine) treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression. This innovative option is FDA-approved and covered by most insurance plans. Unlike many clinics, we integrate Spravato into a full treatment plan that includes ongoing psychiatric oversight, monitoring, and support. Holistic & Collaborative Care: We understand that mental health doesn’t exist in isolation. Our providers often work with primary care doctors, schools, and families to ensure that treatment plans are well-rounded and effective.

Whether it’s guiding a teenager through anxiety and ADHD, or helping an adult overcome depression and trauma, our clinicians are skilled in addressing the needs of both younger and older populations. Our Vision The founder of Sound Choice Mental Health, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, started the clinic after recognizing a major gap in accessible, personalized psychiatric care in the South Sound region. Too often, patients were forced to choose between long wait times at large health systems or impersonal telehealth providers who did not understand the local community. From the very beginning, the vision was to create a warm, welcoming space where patients could receive both the clinical expertise of psychiatry and the supportive presence of therapy under one roof. Why Patients Trust Us Patients often tell us that what makes Sound Choice Mental Health unique is the level of care and attention they receive. Our team takes the time to listen, answer questions, and involve patients in every decision about their treatment. We believe that healing is a collaborative process, and our role is to empower each person to take an active role in their mental health journey. From the first appointment to ongoing follow ups, patients experience a continuity of care that fosters trust and long term results. Looking Ahead Mental health needs are growing, and Sound Choice Mental Health is committed to continuing to expand our services to meet them. Whether that means welcoming new therapists, offering more specialized treatment options, or deepening our community partnerships, our goal is always the same: to improve lives through compassionate, effective mental health care. Sound Choice Mental Health is proud to serve as a trusted resource for therapy, psychiatry, and medication management in Lacey and Olympia, WA. Our psychiatrist-led team of therapists provides comprehensive care for adolescents and adults, with expertise in depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and more.
