To find counseling with Apple Health in Kennewick or the Tri-Cities, check your specific Medicaid plan, identify the kind of support you need, and contact Three Rivers Therapy to confirm coverage and request an appointment. The Kennewick office serves people from Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco and offers several behavioral health service lines, including outpatient counseling.
Does Apple Health cover counseling?
Apple Health is Washington State’s Medicaid program. Coverage for counseling depends on your managed care plan, the service requested, eligibility, and any plan-specific requirements. Three Rivers Therapy lists Medicaid and several commercial plans, but you should confirm your specific plan and service before scheduling.
- Find the managed care plan name on your Apple Health card.
- Review the Three Rivers Therapy Insurance We Accept page and ask the Kennewick team whether your plan is accepted for the service you need.
- Ask about referrals, prior authorization, any costs, and current appointment availability.
What Apple Health Counseling Services Are Available in Kennewick?
You do not need to know the exact program name before calling. Describe what you or your family member is experiencing and ask the team to explain appropriate options.
Outpatient counseling
Counseling can support children, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family stress, or life changes. Ask about clinician fit and availability.
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
Psychiatric clinicians evaluate symptoms and discuss whether medication may be appropriate. The Kennewick website lists medication management for ages 5 and older; confirm clinician availability and eligibility.
WISe
Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) provides coordinated, team-based support for eligible youth and families with intensive behavioral health needs. The services page describes WISe for ages 0–21. Ask about Apple Health eligibility, screening, and referrals.
Foundational Community Supports (FCS)
FCS helps eligible Apple Health participants address barriers to housing or employment through supportive housing and supported employment services. It provides guidance and coordination, not direct rent or wage payments. Eligibility requires an assessment and other criteria.
Peer Respite
Peer Respite is a voluntary, nonclinical, peer-operated short-term setting for Medicaid-insured adults ages 18 and older experiencing a mental health crisis who do not meet criteria for detainment. Eligible guests may stay up to seven days. It is not a replacement for emergency care.
How do you request an appointment?
- Confirm coverage. Have your Apple Health card, plan name, and any referral information ready.
- Call the Kennewick office at (509) 378-5553. Explain whether care is for you, a child, or another family member, and describe your main concerns.
- Ask about next steps. The office can clarify the service fit, availability, and intake process. The website says intake paperwork is sent by email through PandaDoc before intake; confirm the current process with the team.
